Modern PHP Cheat Sheet

I've never understood why some programmers like to use ligatures, especially on a cheat sheet like this, which will be used primarily by people who aren't familiar with the syntax.

It's not 'a' ⇒ 1, it's 'a' => 1, just write it out the correct way. Why are you trying to be fancy?

This is done by the used font, in the markup it's correct.

Looks like iosevka to me. Lovely font

EDIT: I wrongly assumed at a glance because of the shape of the $. On closer look the characters are much wider than iosevka. It's jetbrains mono

Because the characters '=>' have been used to simulate exactly the character '⇒' : to mean an arrow, not e.g. "equality then greater than".

Overall I think this is reasonable, but the font I'm using on my ide has ligatures and I think they provide a vastly better reading experience.
