The reason people burn out on open source
You may take issue with Mr. Lodwick's tone, but he's not wrong. This gem is incomplete, and for a gem occupying the namespace "emoji", I think it's reasonable to expect the full, standard set of emoji. Passing the buck to another open source library is irresponsible and, frankly, lazy.Perhaps the maintainer should burn out, and let someone take over the gem who'll commit to feature-completeness.
