Re:Ligatures in programming fonts: hell no by marssaxman on Saturday May 13, 2023 @02:43PM (#35931362)
Code really is not prose! We use so many skinny punctuation marks that have big structural significance, and variable-width fonts de-emphasize them. I want my commas and brackets made clear and obvious, please.

I did actually spend a year or two coding in a variable-width font, back in the '90s, but I switched back after the novelty wore off.
