I hate ligatures

but why

@010001111 because they change the characters and I don't see the point. Characters are supposed to be readable, not look nice or something.
Especially this one fi

Think of it this way:
If ligatures didn't exist, Fira Code and alike font wouldn't either.

@c3r38r170 Good!

@c3r38r170 You misheard me:
I HATE ligatures

ẞ?

I love them, makes the code so much more readable.

@Codex404 Not for me.. Why do we have monospaced fonts in the first place? Because every single character has a meaning and monospaced fonts make them more clearly distinguishible. Ligatures just diffuse the code in my opinion. but luckily we can all use the fonts we like.

@simulate I couldn't agree more. Same goes for emoticon vs emoji (I prefer the former)

≠

The code is only visually changed, the source remains the same.

Some ligatures are awful and are for being "pretty", others only affect symbols and make ===, == clearly different.

Not all ligatures are equal.

@C0D4 Oi, we're in 2020, you just can't say that! All ligatures are born equals and have the same opportunities.

@Jilano since when did ligatures join the lb... that bunch of letters I can never actually remember... community?
