Use emojilib

[spenserblack]

emojilib has extensive emoji data that can be used to build out the emoji data. Seems like the first keyword is the emoji name, and following keywords are search keywords.

Resolves #1

To do

• Make tool to generate Emojicode (write said tool in emojicode?)
• Update CONTRIBUTING.md
• Mark generated Emojicode as linguist-generated

Reference

• Emojicode json package

Is this issue solved ?

No, it's still a WIP.
To give more information, I wanted to use either npm, yarn, or a git submodule to fetch emojilib. A benefit of this is that dependabot can update the dependencies automatically. Right now, I'm thinking that a git submodule would be best.

An important thing is that I want the emoji definitions to continue to exist at compile time, not runtime. This means that the "main" code can't read JSON. Instead, we'll need some builder code (written in Emojicode to keep the Emojicode spirit 🙂) that will generate a data file. Basically, it would work like this:

1. build.🍇 reads emojilib/dist/emoji-en-US.json and writes definitions.🍇
2. main.🍇 imports definitions.🍇
