#18Why do hardware companies release fonts? It’s not snark, I am legitimately curious. Is it marketing, branding, something else?

#19Looks very readable, but for me personally, ligatures for things like ->, =>, = and those weird JavaScriptisms like == vs === has really become table stakes for me. Didn't care about that at all until about 2020, but can't imagine using a coding font without those features today.
Edit: I just noticed they doubled those up at the end. Nice touch
