Input ftw
I use Fira Code because the coding ligatures are so fun.
While I suppose it looks kind of interesting... how's the experience writing that? When you backspace a -> that looks like a single arrow, it still requires two backspaces, right? Is it not as weird as I'm imagining?
Yep, it still requires the two backspaces as it's still two characters.
I've been digging Operator, the new Hoefler & Co. code font. It's highly legible, although very stylistic. Couldn't be more different than SF. Available in CodePen now.
I don’t know about Operator though. It’s got so much character in it that I wonder it would be too overwhelming for large amount of text.
Operator, the two-hundred-quid-ultra-hyped-monospace-comic-sans.
Haha totally!
The thousand-and-one faces of Input are really impressive, but for comfort and ease of use I'm very happy with CamingoCode.

Have feedback?
I will definitely want to try out SF Mono in my code editor (now I’m using Input). Looks so much more done right than Roboto Mono.
