hernytanWhat’s a compiler? Is it like a transpiler?•

This comment is better than the post itself, you must have made it in Rust

VeganVagiVorewhat is pointer :S•

I recently had a bug where all my system fonts, even monospace, were creating ligatures like 'ff' and 'fi' in the middle of normal words where I didn't want them. It made it impossible to write code, and I worked around it by changing my editor's font.

I have no idea why people want ligatures, especially in a terminal. We had a chance to fix human languages by clamping them to "whatever is easy to do on computers" and we didn't take it. Why?

The point of human culture is to make things harder for engineers. See also: time zones, money, obscenities.

The point of humanity is to create a necessity for the own existence. Economically this works with breaking stuff for others and fixing for yourself, because then you can pretend to "help the others".

are you tired of seeing "less than or equal to" spelled <= but not interested in using a language that will let you just use ≤ directly? well, have I got the font for you!

SteveTheMinerlisp does it better•

If you try hard enough, every language can be Haskal.

The problem is that Nimbus Mono (the ghostscript font) has a fi ligature... which is one character wide.

BarefootUnicornHow many times do I need to mention Free Pascal?•

I like the comment about "unlimited width ligation." That guy _ligatures_.

I can't imagine wanting ligatures. I guess I'm not a 1337 c0der.
