One nit: whatever IDE is displaying single-character surrogates for
==and!=needs to stop. In a world where one could literally type those Unicode symbols in, and break a build, I think everyone is better off seeing the actual syntax.I think it's a lineature. FiraCide does that for example, and I like it very much. My compiler and lsp will tell me if there is a bad char there. Besides, the linea tires take the same space as two regular characters, so you can tell the difference.
It's not the 90s anymore. My editor can look nice.
Ligature, not lineature.
Oops, good to know.
