Unicode's Symbols for Legacy Computing Supplement will be fun, once there's wider font support.
@sil Don't they say designed, rather than written? In any case, I think the interesting part of that story is "... because he thought he was going to be implementing Scheme, but then Marketing said it had to look like Java", and we have to try to imagine a world where we're all Lisp programmers, VSCode is considered a straight-up Emacs rip-off, etc.
@sil I did something along these lines once with Cairo/Pango (varying the font size and the number of lines to fill the space vertically, rather than horizontally as you're doing, but still). This was so long ago that I don't think GI was a thing yet, mind.
