We all mix pictures, emojis and text freely in our communications. So, why not in our code? This session takes a whimsical look at what mixing emoji with Python and SQL might look like (spoiler alert: a lot like those "rebus" stories in Highlights Magazine for Kids!). We'll discuss the benefits of doing so, challenges that emoji present, and demo a rudimentary Python preprocessor that intercepts Python and SQL code containing emojis submitted from Jupyter notebooks and translates it back into text-only code using an emoji-to-text dictionary before passing it on to Python for execution. This session is intended for all levels of programmers.
