I have a confession to make... I code in Comic Sans (dtinth.github.io)

Seriously, though, Comic Sans was originally designed to be legible at the smallest possible font size, and the lack of hard lines makes it easier to read!

I…don’t hate it? Why am I not horribly offended by this?

Same thoughts here. Went in expecting to hate it instantly and found that it sort of looked nice.

I think some of the reason might be that Comic sans used to have really bad kerning. But with a mono font it is not really an issue.

This has me rethinking like two decades of coding. wtf.

[-] qwacko@lemmy.nz 4 points 2 years ago

Yeah, this has me intrigued. May try it out in vscode just for a lark. Possibly actually will be easier to read with some nice shapes...

I feel the same way. I hate that Iike it and am now going to try it.
