I am currently evaluating Fira Code in Android Studio and Visual Studio (both of which I am required to use for certain tasks). I like the obvious visual distinctions of operators, but I am unhappy with the ASCII characters. Droid Sans Mono looks better in my opinion.
Currently developing futuristic smart-device, IoT connected, highway construction site safety system in EU.
Used to work on infrastructure, application architecture and cloud engineering.
the benefit of free fonts is you can fork them. I for example prefer dotted zeroes instead of slashed and in terminal I always pick a font with dotted zeroes thanks to various forks (github.com/powerline/fonts).

I have seen someone tweaked
Droid Sans Mono
to support ligatures too. github.com/abogoyavlensky/DroidCodeOh, that's nice. Thank you!
edit: Hmm, no ligatures in Visual Studio. I'll check that tomorrow.
I must admit after trying it for few days this Droid Code with ligatures does improve readability in few cases for me.
Thanks for bringing it in!
thank the actual developer!
