How do you read `*args` out loud in the context of a #Python function signature?

PLEASE reply with how you'd read it, I'm trying to prove someone wrong 🀣

Boosts are appreciated :D

@mathsppblog I have heard people say, "star args" enough times to probably say that to Python devs.

In the real world, I would say, "the asterisk symbol args" because we are not monsters.

@webology @mathsppblog

def foo(⭐args, ⭐⭐kwargs):
pass

@bmispelon @mathsppblog *️⃣args and *️⃣*️⃣kwargs but it's pronounced "emoji asterisk args" and "emoji asterisk asterisk kwargs"

I think we invented a new programming language.

I think πŸ™ˆ could be private variables. πŸ€”

@webology @bmispelon I'm on board with making πŸ™ˆ private variables.

Then, how about 🌍 for global variables?

@mathsppblog @bmispelon ✊ I think we are on to something. For Django, I want 🐘 for calling PostgreSQL code directly. 🐬 would work for MySQL if I ever used it (I don't), but we can make this work.
@webology @bmispelon you can create the repo; please add me as a collaborator: rodrigogiraoserrao is my GH username. πŸš€

@mathsppblog @bmispelon I think we need to kickstart a new programming keyboard ⌨️ where every emoji of our language has a dedicated key.

That way, with every major language upgrade, we make money from selling them a bigger keyboard. πŸ’Έ
