Maybe I’ll accept non-monospace fonts for code. You get the right ligatures, decent kerning, the softer touch of sans-serif... it has some possibility But psue

But psuedo-cursive strings? This font that looks like a retro emulator using a vectorizing filter?
This is too much. I’m not happy about this development at all.
- meowface 8y agoYeah, using it even on the API documentation page [1] is a bit much. This does look like a cool framework, though. [1] http://python-responder.org/en/latest/api.html http://python-responder.org/en/latest/api.html
- reassembled 8y agoI believe the font is called Operator Mono and seems to have become popularized by the React scene. I was using it for a while and actually kind of like it but lately I've been experimenting with Fira Code, which also has ligature support.
- meowface 8y agoI've tried Fira Code but the ligatures and the overall look and feel of the font somehow feel too "loud" to me. Now that I'm looking at Operator Mono, I think I'll actually give that a try.
- Waterluvian 8y agoI'm slightly convinced that these kinds of things become slightly popular for a little bit for no reason other than change being nice. When people claim to like them, I wonder if they really just like the feeling of change. I have a few syntax color sets that I swap between every few months just because its a nice break. I also found that it's really nice to re-arrange my office every 6 months for no reason other than change is nice.
- Koshkin 8y ago> non-monospace fonts for code A proportional font helps when working with codebases that tend to have long lines (e.g. those written in Java or C#).
