I’m surprised how long that’s still been a working option. I made a subreddit with zero activity just to be a mod and keep using Boost.

I didn’t even notice the ads, but purchased on principle because it’s not a subscription.

Unit test dummy data is full of it. Need an arbitrary date? Pick a special birthday. Location? Wherever you first met.

Not the most public dedication, but perhaps more impactful than yet another song about the one that got away.

Programming typefaces with ligatures are a step in this direction.

I would try this in something like Haskell, where some of the more exotic character sequences get tricky to recognise.

Unison might be the best language to test this in. Having identifiers separate from the actual definitions, you can call anything whatever you want.
