Horrible. This seems way more difficult to learn, because the chosen symbols don't always make sense. Why is "let" a cat and "var" a dog, for example?

And since probably more symbols are chosen arbitrarly, the Hello World example just seems impossible to understand, as long as you don't memorize what the emojis mean. Is this really more intuitive than let x = "Hello World" ?

It would be fun if emojis were used for different purposes, maybe like > let pigs = 2 (pig emoji)
