Comment on Fira Code: monospaced font with programming ligatures

Comments

= vs == vs === seems like a sure way to have bugs.

My thoughts exactly. Probably depends on the person but I am certainly the type who would have trouble detecting the difference.

Just give it a try. There’s 3× difference in width, so _in practice_ you won’t mistake them, ever. I’m using that font for a year now, not a single case of misreading

The use of triple bars for === strongly distinguishes it visually from the two bars of ==, which is a nice touch.
