yeah but scribing your code onto the tablets before feeding them into the computer to compile is a huge pain in the ass
I assure you, punch-stone programming will outlast us all
We need to start recording more stuff on punched gold plates.
it’s more expensive but has the advantage of being less likely to break when you’re carting a wheelbarrow full of the code for your graduate thesis across the ziggurat at eridu and you stumble and they all spill out and fall down an entire tier don’t ask me how i know that
🤨
Alright now Joseph Smith
Bit idea: Guy who believe code is law, but only if written by prophets on golden tablets (no you cannot see them).
Well it worked once before… Alright I’m in!

They put Linear A in unicode, a language no one speaks anymore in a script we dont know how to decipher. Thankfully, in case we have some Encino Man style shenanigans, some Cretan from 3000 years ago will be able to type and read it and explain what it is exactly that we’ve decided should be supported in unicode.
Honestly its one of the better things tech bros have done. Unicode seems to be extremely liberal with what it’ll include. Its been a bit historically biased (adding fake languages a la klingon before real, actually currently used scripts). But they’re at least trying and providing what I hope is real support to linguists and those of us who just like to see how other people do scripts.

this rocks, but have you considered that Godot is woke now sir
Of course it’s woke.
Can’t code on a sleeping computer.

So does Java, btw. Using non-ASCII in code, though, is just brainfuck with extra steps.
I do love adding emojis in comments. Programmers can have a little unicode as a treat
for(int 😬 = 😖; 😬 < ☺️; ++😬) {...
PHP, too

Raku has the
