Could you explain some more on how you're using all those interesting symbols?

Sorry, just it's for my need, not ready and recommended for others, but still, if you're bored like me, please install Vim, vim-javascript and vim-jsx-pretty plugins, enable concealing by adding `set conceallevel=2` into vimrc, then add the below file into `~/.vim/after/syntax/javascript.vim`. https://github.com/thenewvu/dotfiles/blob/master/.vim/after/...

Oh .. wait, you need to install nerd-fonts as well, gooling for that.

For using, I don't know, I just feel good with it. That's all.

Ah so does VIM convert your cool glyphs into text before compiling?
No .. it just "displays" those icons, the origin code is still valid and verbose, you can think it as a kind of code highlighting.
Ah, very nice. That's actually not a bad way to go on the long and beautiful path to Code Canvas
