There's a special hell for devs who render multicolor emojis in terminal sessions.

As an eight-year-old, I too would have been impressed by this display of programming prowess. Indeed, it is quite whimsical.

However, at present I'm trying to recursively extract the dependency tree of a nuclear safety application written in R, I'm not having a particularly enjoyable time trying to understand how to make pkgdepends work, and that childhood sense of joy and creativity is not enhancing the overall experience.

At least the R release name has changed from "Kite-Eating Tree" to "Pile of Leaves", though I expect I should upgrade to "Because It Was There".
