Lightning Talk: Better Support For Emotive Programming in C++
summary
Claims that C++ currently accepts many emoji-like tokens but crucially lacks the classic smiley and proposes the smiley emoticon as overloadable operator with postfix unary and binary forms, precedence placed between minus and call and semantics to indicate meaning "just kidding". Shows demo code that allegedly compiles with other emoticons, notes terminal display limits (vt100 era), and lists practical next steps: submit patches to GCC and write a companion proposal for the angry emoticon.
