    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.

        That’s neat, so TIL ligature in code do actually have a strong following

      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”.

      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.
