Half a year ago, I configured my IDE to use a _duospaced_ font:
https://ia.net/topics/in-search-of-the-perfect-writing-font https://ia.net/topics/in-search-of-the-perfect-writing-font
It mostly retains the advantages of a monospaced font while being a bit easier to read and fitting more characters on screen.
I'd love to see more font-designers exploring this idea.
- tleb_ 6y ago2.4rem for their paragraph font and a 1.75 line-height... How is duospace for programming? Breaking the alignment isn't an issue?

Unless I'm explicitly looking for it, I don't notice the offset. ...it might be an issue if there's a limited line-length and you don't have an auto-formatter that will take care of it for you. ...or if you work with tables. But since I don't have these issues, it just all feels very natural.
