Victor Mono VS Hack

That's not a trick question. Victor Mono does support ligatures. Source: 5 months ago

It's not Iosevka (really, what else can come close except maybe Envy Code R), but I have recently discovered Victor Mono and think it an attractive programming font: https://rubjo.github.io/victor-mono/. - Source: Hacker News / 9 months ago

Offtopic: The cursive italics are apparently a feature of the Victor Mono [1] font used for the full page. While it'd be amusing in Tumblr context (where cursive is used for hyperbolic emphasis), I can't fathom why one would consider it in a code context. You can change it (at least on Safari) by going into developer tools, clicking any node, and removing "Victor Mono" from --font-family [1]... - Source: Hacker News / 10 months ago

I use this type face on pretty much everything that involves reading or writing code. It's great! Even comes with ligatures. Victor Mono[0] is another great monospace font. [0]: https://rubjo.github.io/victor-mono/. - Source: Hacker News / 10 months ago

I love FiraCode! I was using it for almost half a decade before recently switching to Victor Mono. [1] The ligatures do serve a practical purpose to me anyways. I find they make parsing symbols much easier because the same symbol in different contexts looks different when it means something different.

Just like Facebook invented HackLang, Microsoft invented TypeScript, but only companies of this magnitude need such features. The average Joe from Delaware does not need all that. - Source: dev.to / about 8 hours ago

PHP results: Is Hack still popular with PHP people? I was stupid enough to write some scientific code in PHP once so know how slow it can be. But if your going to do try write performant code in PHP use the HHVM interpreter. It's much faster. Hack (https://hacklang.org/) uses that under the hood by default. - Source: Hacker News / 4 months ago

Meta: hacklang.org has the details there. It forked off of PHP ~5 years ago, and is no longer backwards compatible. I believe this is also what Slack uses. Source: 11 months ago

Facebook literally created Hack because PHP wasn't meeting their needs at the time. Source: about 1 year ago

Well, yeah, since they generally don't kill popular projects. Hell hack is still getting updates even though no one ever gave a shit about it. Meanwhile Flutter can be cancelled tomorrow because another division made Clutter and they have more "political" pull at google... Source: over 1 year ago
