Font selection for coding

[SwiftExpat 65]

Here is an article that introduces font selection for coding.  It is the most up to date that I have seen in a while so I hope it to be of use to others.

Clickbait title and the author has no clue about the things he writes about.

 

If it wasn't for the illustrations I'd thought that article was written by ChatGPT.

It looks like it's advertising for his Free Typography course. But actually reading through it, I can't understand why anyone would want ligatures in their coding font. At least he quoted and linked to Matthew Butterick's article--with which several of the commenters (and myself) agree.

 

For me, I've used Consolas for so long, anything else is uncomfortable.

Well, some of us like to feel fancy when we code!
