Unicode source code has an extreme amount of weird cases to deal with. Right-to-left, variable width, semanticly equivilent sequences, etc. For a serious low-level langauge which has subtle aspirations to become a lingua franca like C, I think they made a sensible choice.
If the Unicode consortium were much more conservative and sensible, it might have been possible.
No emoji variables, sorry Javascripturds.

Thank you for writing this, @cwebber! I've been dying for a "middle-of-the-road introduction" to scheme which doesn't overwhelm or underdeliver. I now finally have the capacity to go and read projects written in lisp, understand their gist, and get my hands dirty and learn.

We've published A Scheme Primer! https://spritely.institute/static/papers/scheme-primer.html
Blogpost: https://spritely.institute/news/the-spritely-institute-publishes-a-scheme-primer.html
This primer serves as a quick skim tutorial to get started fast, or as a more in-depth read... ending with the finale of a 30 line example of a Scheme interpreter written in Scheme!

Hi @humanetech :)
I just want to clarify to onlookers that the hare-activity library is purely aspirational at the moment.
But thank you anyway. We dare to dream.
My list of outlined infant #hare programs and libraries
https://sr.ht/~torresjrjr/hare-projects/sources
I may not have enough effective time to complete and perfect these ideas myself, but I'm posting in the hopes others can carry the torch.
Some rationale for the list:
The "darian" and "mayan" libraries if successful will prove that the stdlib design choices for timekeeping, including Hare's timescales and timezones, are robust and expandable as advertised. Also, Martian time is cool.
The "ninefmt" library will provide a friendlier alternative to the stdlib's POSIX subset of strftime "%Y-%m-%d" specifiers. plan9front's tmdate(2) defines a nice "YYYY MM DD" syntax.
The "jsonld" and "activity" libraries will form the bedrock for an eventual #activitypub Fediverse server. I'd love to see another interoperable contender written in Hare. Something modular and simple.
The "chess" library will allow Hare to prove itself as a robust language for complex algorithms and large data. Imagine Deep Blue in Hare, or another #floss lichess.org implementation.
https://chessprogramming.org/
Speaking of science, maybe there should be science/physics-related library. Any ideas?
The "ed" (and "vi") utilities will allows Hare devs to code in their own dogfood. I also have my sights on sam/acme, and structural regular expressions in particular:

As I announced earlier, I've been working on an alternative to PrivacyTools, PrivacyGuides, etc. All of them target non technical users, have sponsors and affiliate links.
The Privacy Raccoon - Digital Self-defense against mass surveillance

It's not finished yet, there's a lot of work to do. But I wanted to announce it so people can contribute to it. If you're interested in contributing, go here:

I like to work with the following rules for simple utilities:
-V -> version
-v -> verbose
-h -> small help text, 20 lines or less. use man for longer text.
-V should print the program name and version number only. Avoid extra info or lines.
$ prog -V
prog 2.0.1
$ prog -V
prog 0.3.4-a7efb4c

@Moon @zxcvfadsf @p I think putting arbitrary images (who decides there is a dog emoji but not an axolotol one?) within text should have never been the job of the text encoding system. All of that crap should be entirely up to the frontend displaying the text which may interpret some string as a custom image (like 
), or otherwise if you want images within text just write in some rich-markup language like HTML TempleOS's hypertext 
), or otherwise if you want images within text just write in some rich-markup language like
