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.

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

I always do, I love having ligatures

Having ≠ looks much nicer then !=

Ah! You see, in my mind != looks nicer than ≠. Haha

[-] maniel@sopuli.xyz 10 points 5 months ago

That's why those exist

[-] qaz@lemmy.world 9 points 5 months ago

Yes, I use Fira Code myself

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.
