Ligatures for <>, <->, <=> #346
Description
Activity
Hey @Niels-NTG, thanks for the good suggestions! I’ll add these when I get the chance.
Reacted by Niels NTG Poldervaart, J3Rik0, Naveen Gupta and Vadim PisarevskyWas looking to post this suggestion as PHP also has the spaceship operator, I can add the bitwise shifting operators in java, that Fira Code shows nicely, and the Haskell negation, which is /= unlike != in other languages, this would expand the audience of the font a bit:
The font looks great btw, I just started using it and enjoying it so far. A world of thanks for this great font.
Reacted by Niels NTG Poldervaart and Stephen NixonI'd definitely like to have that
<=>ligature for Ruby as well. A few other language-specific ligatures that would be great to see are=~and!~regex-match operators, and<<-and<<~heredoc symbols. I'd also love to see|>Elixir's pipeline operator.Really love Recursive! I didn't know you could do this much with a variable font, and I've been having a ton of fun playing around with it, both getting my terminal and editor set up, and in some design work as well. Thanks for making it!

on Dec 7, 2020 These ligatures have been added in the latest release. They look lovely!
Reacted by Stephen NixonThanks, @Niels-NTG! I was glad I could add in some more useful glyphs. :)

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Recursive currently doesn't have support for ligatures for the character combinations of <>, <-> and <=>.
Describe the solution you'd like
<>, also known as the diamond operator is common in Java and C# (eg.LinkedHashMap<String, String> newRow = new LinkedHashMap<>();and apparently also in Perl and VBA.` Would be nice if Recursive could render this as an actual diamond shape.While as far as I know
<->is not an operator in any programming language, a ligature for it would be a logical addition if Recursive would have a ligature for<=>, also known as the Spaceship Operator.Here's how Fira Code (at the bottom) renders the aforementioned character combinations as compared to the latest release of Recursive with code ligatures (at the top):
