## What it is
Emojicode is an open-source, multi-paradigm programming language whose syntax consists of emojis, featuring object-orientation, optionals, generics, closures, and protocols. It ships with a compiler that produces fast native machine code via LLVM, along with a standard set of packages and a package manager.

## Use cases
- write programs using emoji syntax
- learn programming in a fun and accessible way
- compile emoji-based source code to native executables
- teach programming concepts like generics and closures
- explore esoteric programming languages
- build small native apps with a novel language

## When to choose
- you want a playful, emoji-based language for learning or teaching
- you need an esoteric language that still compiles to fast native code
- you want object-orientation, generics, and closures in an unconventional syntax
- you're running a course or workshop that benefits from novelty

## When to avoid
- you need a production-grade language with a large ecosystem and community
- you require extensive third-party libraries or tooling
- your team needs maintainable, conventional codebases
- you work in environments that handle emoji poorly
