Using ಠ_ಠ to Throw Exceptions

Most people don’t know that you can oftentimes put Unicode characters in your code. However, the look of disapproval is gold, and I am now going to use it to throw exceptions.

C# version:

        public static void ಠ_ಠ(string error)
        {
            throw new Exception(error);
        }

        public static void CreateFile(string path)
        {
            if(File.Exists(path))
            {
                ಠ_ಠ("error: file exists");
            }

            File.Create(path);
        }

F# version

open System.IO

let ಠ_ಠ = failwith

let createFile path =
    if File.Exists(path) then
        ಠ_ಠ "error: file exists"

    File.Create(path)

Note: This is inspired from a practical joke from some coworkers in the past. Someone apparently snuck in a method named _μ into the code. That is “underscore mu” and apparently it drove people nuts.
