Re: Fira Code: monospaced font with programming ligatures
#12Really cool, but what, if any, are the plans to get it working with Vim? It's the universal editor you're likely to find everywhere.
Vim isn't there problem, it's your terminal. There is an open feature request with iterm2, but terminal.app is probably a lost cause. I know nothing about the state of Unicode font rendering in Linux.

#13= vs == vs === seems like a sure way to have bugs.
My thoughts exactly. Probably depends on the person but I am certainly the type who would have trouble detecting the difference.
Re: Fira Code: monospaced font with programming ligatures
#14Probably not possible with ligatures/glyph variants but really cool would be grouping of numbers: In groups of three the first digit would be moved to the right and the last one to the left to simulate a narrow space as thousands separator.
I suspect that it's possible, but would require an impractical number (1000) of ligatures in the font.
I wander if it would correctly draw:
1 000 000
100 000 0

It works fine under konsole 15.08.

#16I love the ligatures (arrows and fat arrows in particular), but the @ sign is so jarringly strange. It distracts me every time

#17= vs == vs === seems like a sure way to have bugs.
The use of triple bars for === strongly distinguishes it visually from the two bars of ==, which is a nice touch.

#18This is really cool, but I must be getting old, because I find it particularly difficult to parse.
Re: Fira Code: monospaced font with programming ligatures
#19that looks amazing, but I kinda wish that certain ligatures were optional (which they might be, need to look at the CSS docs again for atom) I (personally) don't exactly want == to look too similar to a single =, after all!
They don't. The == variant is has double the width.
At least for me, monospaced fonts are very helpful for looking at column specific features. == and === are row specific, so seeing the delimiters between them makes them easier to parse on a row level for me.

I upvoted your post on account of the dry humour.
