One nit: whatever IDE is displaying single-character surrogates for == and != needs to stop. In a world where one could literally type those Unicode symbols in, and break a build, I think everyone is better off seeing the actual syntax.

I love ligatures but much prefer the ones that preserve the proper width of all the characters for this exact reason

are there ligatures for monospace fonts that don't preserve the width of the characters?
