# Emotive Coding Platforms The Emojicode Lets Programmers Use Emojis to Create Applications By M | Published 2016-03-07 | Tech Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/coding-platform References: [thenextweb](http://thenextweb.com/dd/2016/03/04/now-you-can-use-emoji-to-code/) & [emojicode.org](http://www.emojicode.org/) The Emojicode platform creatively integrates the [popularity of emojis](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/emojitalk) into the [coding sphere](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/codeventure) with a coding platform that can be entirely programmed using the emotive graphics. The service allows programmers to create applications using graphics as commands rather than strictly text and numbers. Coding often relies on text-based commands to program applications, but the Emojicode platform goes one step further with a multi-paradigm system that allows the integration of text, numbers and graphics. The service is compatible with a variety of computer programs including OS X, Raspbian and Ubuntu and also allows coders to customize the platform to suit their needs. The addition of emojis in coding speaks to the popularity of emotive graphics as a [universally accepted language](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/codelingo) spanning beyond the realm of social media. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.9/10 - Popularity: 35% | Activity: 13% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Tech](https://www.trendhunter.com/tech) > [Computers](https://www.trendhunter.com/computers) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Visual Coding:** Using graphics as commands in coding platforms offers a disruptive innovation opportunity for a more intuitive and accessible programming experience. - **Multi-paradigm Coding:** Integrating text, numbers, and graphics in coding platforms opens up new possibilities for creative and versatile application development. - **Emotive Language:** Leveraging the popularity of emojis as a coding language presents an opportunity to bridge communication gaps and create more expressive applications. ### Who This Affects Most - **Software Development:** Emotive coding platforms can revolutionize the software development industry by providing an alternative way to code and create innovative applications. - **Education Technology:** Incorporating visual coding platforms into educational curriculums can enhance computer science learning and encourage creativity in young learners. - **Social Media:** The use of emotive language in coding can lead to novel ways of integrating social media platforms with applications, enabling more engaging user experiences. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Instant Visual Creators](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/emojis-generator.md) - [Social Animated Emojis](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rinko.md) - [AI Emoji Creators](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/iemoji-ai.md) - [Emoji Party Games](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/speedmoji.md) - [Personalized AI Emojis](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/emojifyer-ai.md) - [AI Emoji Assistants](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/emoji-bot.md) - [Emoji Access Platforms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tiktok-emoji-finder.md) - [Text-to-Emoji Converters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/neatemoji.md) - [Emoji Search Engines](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/emoogle.md)
