I loved Fira Code as well but it was love at first sight with IBM Plex https://www.ibm.com/plex/
Oh god, that website though. How many CSS animations do I have to suffer through before it lets me scroll down to any actual information? Make it stop!!
Yet to find something that suits me better than Fira Code. It's a decently good-looking font with ligatures . I'm a sucker for ligatures.

Why do you like ligatures? What, on ${DEITY}’s Blue Earth, can ligatures possibly do for you as a programmer, that is in any way useful?!?

I find Fira Code to have too harsh serifs and unnecessary details like the open lowercase g. Given my love for Input, I emailed DJR (the designer) about including ligatures but he wasn't interested, so I drew a set of my own: https://pasteboard.co/HWhfhsE.png
Could you repost your image to, say, Imgur? I'd like to see how you'd implemented ligatures.
(Turned out I remember Input because I saw Output, a font by the same author, and thought "Oh, that's nice! I could use that on my webs-- oh, it's not cheap. Bugger".)

Checked the website - looks like the zero isn't slashed, and I've spent too much time chasing down errors caused by oh's as zeros.
It is dotted zero, although I have seen modified versions with a slashed zero.

The examples on the IBM site had zeros without slashes or dots. And the character set showed a slashed zero exists, but it isn't the default zero. I believe you if you're using it, but I'm not sure where your dotted zero came from.

Seriously though, what an atrocious site...

> Monospace is already such an awful layout for readability... So why code in a monospaced font then? There's no rule that says you have to write code in a monospaced font. I've used proportional fonts for many years, and almost every programmer's editor supports them. I'm currently using a slightly modified version of Trebuchet MS (I replaced the tilde with a better one). Another example is Input Sans, one of the th…
Reasons: I haven't found a proportional code font I like very much and, more importantly, many—MANY—existing code files include text arranged with the expectation of monospace fonts and if you use proportional, they become a mess.
Inconsolata ticks all the boxes for me https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inconsolata
Whenever evaluating a programming font, it’s really just a question of how similar to Inconsolata it is.
I really like Overpass Mono. It's quite easy to read and I think it looks nice as well: https://fonts.google.com/specimen/Overpass+Mono
