Summary of tonsky/FiraCode

FiraCode is a GitHub repository managed by Nikita Prokopov (tonsky). It's a free monospaced font with programming ligatures, which are special symbols combining two characters into one. This makes code more readable and easier to understand.

Features:

A wide set of ligatures (more than most similar projects)
Regularly updated with new icons
It's quite popular, with more than 50k stars on GitHub.
It can be used in most modern code editors (e.g. VS Code, Atom).
Languages that partially support ligatures include:
Haskell
Agda
Idris
Coq
One downside of using FiraCode is that, because ligatures are used instead of separate characters, copy/pasting code can sometimes result in oddly formatted text.
Despite this, FiraCode is an excellent tool for programmers wanting to increase readability in their codebase, and is worth considering for any serious developer.
