What is FiraCode?
Fira Code is a free monospaced font that replaces common programming multi-character combinations (like ->, <=, or :=) with single ligature glyphs. It solves the problem of visual fragmentation in code by rendering logical tokens as unified symbols, making code easier to read and parse at a glance.
