LGTM. Though do people really code with ligatures turned on?
Edit: Ok so there are some big advocates of ligatures, I’m going to have to give them a second chance. I’ll try for a week, and either way that Fira Code font looks great.
Long live Fixedsys! My favourite font since before time.
I found a version with ligatures. Love the thick equally spaced characters. Makes stuff so nice to read.
When you realize 90% of programming is reading, then you'll end up embarking on a journey to make code more readable. At some point you fall in love with ligatures.
Ligatures make code way easier to read, especially if you’re using lambdas or a language with different comparison operators than “normal”.
Yes, with Iosevka font
Yes, I use Fira Code myself
I was skeptical of ligatures at first, too, it took me awhile to warm up to it. But yeah, love me some Fira Code now.
That’s neat, so TIL ligature in code do actually have a strong following
That's why those exist
I always do, I love having ligatures
Having ≠ looks much nicer then !=
Ah! You see, in my mind != looks nicer than ≠. Haha
