The ligatures in Fira Code Nerd are my favorite feature.

May I ask why? I'm not loving ligatures :[
I gave Julia's and Fira's ligatures a try but no dice, it feels so super counterintuitive ๐ฌ
It's definitely a personal preference thing. I just think they look cool and make it a bit easier to skim read large sections of code (assuming you have ligatures often in the code). They have lots of examples here: https://github.com/Trzcin/Fira-Code-Nerd
Anyway, you can still use that font without the ligatures, if that's not your thing :p
Thanks for sharing. A good read, the quick comparisons were awesome. I landed on Fira and Hack a while ago and have been happy. Judging by the comparisons in the article, I gotta give JetBrains Mono a try though ๐ค
Thanks a bunch! Yeah, that sounds about right, but also Julia and since some folks on Mastodon [1] told me also 0xProto ๐! Welcome to the rabbit hole!
0xProto looks very nice, thanks! But of course no comparison is complete without Iosevka. And it's so customizable it won't be complete even then...
Here's the build I use:
Spoiler alert: you're the second person to suggest Iosevka, so I just added it to the comparison ๐ค ๐๐ผ
I must say I don't love it's narrowness, but it's really well made !
