Consider using Yandex' Emoji Translation API to autogenerate bindings

[SaschaMann]

Instead of manually defining bindings, consider using Yandex Translate's Emoji translation. They offer an API that could be used to mass-generate bindings. Obviously without any guarantees of bindings being unique but that adds a fun element of surprise to each function call.

Example:

WatchJuliaBurn aims at destroying the look of your code by adding emojis like 😄 and kaomojis like c╯°□°ↄ╯ instead of your favorites Julia functions. Don't hesitate to add your worst creations via PR.

=>

WatchJuliaBurn 🎯 💥 👀 👆 📟 ➕ 🐢 💖 😄 & 🐼 💖 🅱 🇨🇬 🌡 🇨🇬 🌡 ↄ 🇨🇬 ⏭ 👆 💕 👩 📛 🔢 . 🚫 😥 ➕ 👆 😨 🛠 ↗️ 🇵🇷.

I expect that this would work just as well for individual bindings.

Careful, your Yandex broke Julia's aniconism tabu. You really want to see the world burn.

TIL...
That sounds like an interesting proposition, but this also ruins all the fun to find new emoji aliases :D

Good point, I missed that. That could be manually fixed by hardcording julia as ∴ (U+2234) or by asking Yandex to fix this obvious bug.

The Yandex API could be used to generate new file names when calling emojify.

Just checked and you need to pay to use the API....

I have no idea what this project is about, but to add insult to injury Yandex does not allow using emj-language with their Translations API, so it is only accessible via web-ui
