    I like the curly braces (much easier to spot the difference from some other fonts that lack a well defined point).

    But I’m still a fan of fira code for generally well done ligatures.

    Edit: fira code, not sans.

    I’d like to see a font like this eventually replace the Ubuntu system typeface. There’s a lot of nostalgia and charm in that font, but it’s godawful ugly T_T

    It looks alright. I might give it a try. I tested out a bunch of different mono fonts recently and landed on Fira Code. I’m still getting used to ligatures but so far I’m liking it more than I expected.

    Looks pretty good. I don’t think anything will end up shaking me loose from hasklig, but more choice is pretty much never a bad thing.

    I’ve been using Hack as my font of choice since probably around 2016 I think. I did a close comparison between the 2 after downloading it, and wow! I think this Intel font might finally replace Hack as my programming font of choice. The font does a great job of making all the common character look distinct from each other. I especially notice the parens and braces having some nice detail. I’ll have to try it out on actual files, but it looks good so far!

    I tried it at work for a few weeks but in the end I went back to Iosevka. Not sure if it’s something with the Intel font, being used to Iosevka, some combination of those, or something completely unrelated, but it’s the only font I can use comfortably on daily basis, after migrating from Operator
