Did anyone look at some code in Visual Studio with this font. You'll be surprised how `!=` looks like with this font (C++), it's pretty cool [and I've never seen anything like it before]!
Someone wants C to look like Haskell? (as always, the Haskell users have taken it quite a bit further: https://github.com/i-tu/Hasklig/#hasklig--ligatures-for-code )
What do you mean? Fancy symbols in code look rather APL-ish than Haskell-ish. IIRC, while Haskell lets you use variety of Unicode symbols both as function names and operators, they are not very popular amongst Haskellers.
Microsoft is just on a roll when it comes to open source. - Windows Terminal is pretty solid, and fast. Dare I say, nearing rxvt-unicode/kitty speed. There are some remaining terminal corruption with tmux + vim sessions, but soon enough it'll be replacing hyper/conemu for me. - WSL 2 alleviates file system issues that plagued WSL. I recently wiped debian off my Thinkpad because there's no point, I get everything I ne…
- Windows Terminal is nice but the windows command line is not. I don't like PowerShell, it is too verbose. - WSL 2 is not stable and it is only available for the Windows Insider program. And it does not have X. - Windows 10 drivers sucks. For example, Intel Graphics drivers has a lot of bugs. - ClearType has been improved but Linux and Mac font aliasing is a lot better. - I cannot upgrade my laptop to the last Windo…

Imo bash and posix shells are too verbose. I have to learn 10 different little programs that have extremely different syntax instead of just learning powershell.

"- WSL 2 is not stable and it is only available for the Windows Insider program. And it does not have X." WSL 2 is not perfect, but its pretty stable. And it's available for everyone on 1903 update. No need to be in Insider program. Yes, no X, that's true.

Have a link on installing wsl 2 on 1903? Last I checked it was only on insider builds.
I wish some thought would be given to alternate widths for monospaced fonts.
Once I got used to the narrow width of Iosevka[†], all these other admittedly wonderful terminal/code fonts lost their appeal to me. Everything else just looks fat now.

I completely agree! I came to Iosevka for the looks, but now I don't want to leave because of the width. :D
Windows can be convenient, but what is the cost of your convenience? - Fewer hardware manufacturers will publish drivers for other OSes. - More computer manufacturers will sell computers with Windows preinstalled (and other preinstalled software that you will likely not want in your computer), making your computer more expensive and slower, and sometimes, less secure (search: eDellRoot). - Fewer game publishers will…
Nah. I, for one, am fed up with feeling as a third-class citizen every single day. I recently moved back to Windows after using Linux exclusively for five years. My opinion will probably prove unpopular here, but here goes: I have seen close to zero progress in making Linux a better desktop operating system in all this time, while MS has been doing solid work in making Windows a more development friendly environment.…
Windows 10 got a LOT better usability wise, and I still think about moving from macOS and Ubuntu to it from time to time, but it is a privacy nightmare, so my Hackintosh will continue to do just fine.
am I the only person who has trouble imagining what a font will look like from just a row of alphanumeric characters? I'm always wishing for a screenshot of it used in complex editor situations when these posts pop up.
