god i hate programming ligatures. makes code from other people completely inscrutable.

like, i'm fine with grouping characters together, but changing the shape of them completely defeats the purpose of ligatures. they're meant to make flowing text easier to read, but in programming you don't want flowing text. you want mistakes to stick out, so you need your text to be clearly demarcated and consistent.

like, with fira code, half of these characters should not exist. tell me at a glance what makes up those triangle ones, or the fat arrows.

I initially didn't try reading the code because the font made me think it was in Arabic.
