Anyway, as far as I'm seeing it's perfectly possible to implement let* consistent with the above behavior as a macro without mutation as such: (define-macro (let* bindings &rest body) (if (null? bindings) `

I agree entirely. PragmataPro is my daily driver, and anything else feels way too expansive. Default Iosevka is close, but the leading is much larger. Luckily you can customize it to be almost identical (set `leading = 1110` in the config;

The ligatures discussed are implemented at the rendering level. The byte sequence of text is unchanged vs the "no ligature" scenario. So this has zero impact on screen readers.
