First of all, this is my new favorite PR.

Ferris is a name, so I think the current capitalization is more accurate ;)

This was widely stopping rust adoption for me, Thank you.

First of all, this is my new favorite PR.

I think this pull request may have won the Internet.

I think we need more bullshit like this. Next step would be including the whole gemoji crate into compiler codebase to be able to name any emoji, not just Ferris only.

The capitalization in the suggestions seems off when you don’t use it for a variable.

E.g. in a struct name

error: Ferris cannot be used as an identifier
 --> src/main.rs:1:8
  |
1 | struct 🦀;
  |        ^^ help: try using their name instead: `ferris`

or a const

error: Ferris cannot be used as an identifier
 --> src/main.rs:1:7
  |
1 | const 🦀: Crab = Crab::with_name("Ferris");
  |       ^^ help: try using their name instead: `ferris`

I think this is sarcastic but it would sure be fun!

what the....

@m-ou-se Any chance we get 🦀 as the only allowed emoji identifier?
This is seriously preventing me from continuing to use rust in my projects.

@arthurfiorette that would require t-lang sign-off. It would be too whimsical to do so, but I'm not against whimsy.

I'm not familiar with the rust "workflow" for it... How can I start the process to get a t-lang sign-off? 😁

Adding 🦀 as an accepted identifier in Rust means removing this easter-egg, though. ^^
