I don't know what they were doing with their javascript, but they broke both the reload button & ctrl-R as well as maxing a CPU for 30s after closing the tab. Possibly something with the canvas, I got a fingerprinting attempt warning for that.
I like Comic Mono. It feels informal, playful, produces no fatigue, and keeps me from taking my code too seriously. https://dtinth.github.io/comic-mono-font/
Unfortunately not available to compare on https://www.programmingfonts.org/ While I'm here: Victor Mono has been my programming font of choice for a while now: https://rubjo.github.io/victor-mono/ Oh, look at that, the Victor Mono homepage has a font comparison slider that allows you to compare it to MonoLisa! MonoLisa advertises that it's wider than other monospace fonts, and you can really see that in the compariso…

edit: ahhh it's a paid font.

My own favorite programming fonts of choice at the time are either Liberation Mono (https://www.programmingfonts.org/#liberation) or Cousine (https://www.programmingfonts.org/#cousine) the latter of which builds upon the former.
They're delightfully boring, are readable at smaller sizes, have a good Unicode support, don't seem to have ligatures so i don't have to bother disabling them (personal preference) and are completely free. Plus they can be used to work with code that has large information density (think legacy Java apps) without causing strain on my eyes due to their simple look.
Perhaps I'm missing why this is desired for fonts in general, but my tendency when selecting one for editing code is to use one with a smaller vertical line spacing to minimise spacing between lines (and therefore fit more lines on screen). Why do people appear to prefer the opposite (massive distance between lines)? I'm currently using Input Mono, not because I like it specifically as a font, but because it's relati…
Readability. Having text crammed into as little space as possible is efficient, but many people have problem reading it.
A very ironic statement because I find the font to be absolutely unreadable.

> Designing a monospace font is much harder than a traditional, proportional one: being constrained by the same width of all glyphs can result in a boring or unreadable font. A very ironic statement because I find the font to be absolutely unreadable.
