Use a dynamically typed language and you won't have to: just override the default reverse() method on strings like a Real Programmer!

Unintended consequences you say? Nonsense! What could possibly go wrong?

I’m tempted to publish an NPM package to do so as a joke, but I fear that it’d get used seriously

Where does it end though? It's a bit like infinite craft - but instead of combining resources you'd have to find an inverse for every emoji
