Hi,

why in the golang team? The software contains literally two lines of actual
source code and those are written in bash.

my fingers were faster than my brain, as I usually package go software, I already sent an reply to clarify that. ^^

When packaging it, make sure to not forget to credit Mu-An Chiou
<me@muanchiou.com> as the list of emojis in wofi-emoji comes from
https://github.com/muan/emojilib Maybe it even makes sense to package emojilib
separately in the javascript/nodejs team and then let wofi-emoji use its data.
Good catch, I'll add that. About separately packaging emojilib: I don't feel like starting to package software from ecosystems I am not familiar with.

So why not instead of packaging the 2-line wofi-emoji or the 100-line shmoji
package https://github.com/fdw/rofimoji which seems to support everything that
wofi-emoji or shmoji can do and can do more, supports more selectors, can load
the emoji data from other files and can insert the emoji and supports
clipboards of different display managers. The project also has nearly 1000
stars on github and is thus orders of magnitude more popular than the other two
projects.

What do you think?

That would be great, I would not enforce wofi-emoji if a good alternative would already be packaged. But python is also a language where I don't feel comfortable to maintain a package.

Best regards,
Martin
