I have a confession to make... I code in Comic Sans

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

Oh no, I was ready to pick up my pitchfork, but that is super legible. Brb, I need to go take a look at myself in the mirror...

First of all, how dare you

Second of all, how dare you

Third of all, at least it isn't papyrus

⚠️ I have reported this post to the proper authorities.

I came here to get mad but comic sans monospaced looks really good. I'm impressed. I might switch my IDE to this.

This looks way better than it has any right to, I expected to hate this. Now I'm looking at fonts again reevaluating some shit

I didn't want to wake up and start liking comic sans, God damn

Oh no now I want to build a whole Arch rice around that font.

...no that's not enough.

we need ComicSansOS

I mean Comic Mono is mentally relaxing and legible so great font of choice

Friendship ended with font gatekeeping and dogpiling, accessibility is my new best friend

I see serifs. You're a phony! A great big phony!

I thought you actually meant the variable width font and I was about to report the post for gore.

Wow, poor comic sans didn’t deserve all the hate it got

I've coded with comic neue https://comicneue.com/ over the last few years. I would definitely recommend it.

I will forever believe the comic sans hate is one of the internet's seemingly random circlejerks, like hating Imagine Dragons.

If you like that, check out Recursive Sans & Mono

I wouldn't pick it over Fira Code but it has a bit of whimsy to it that reminds me of Comic Mono.

I used to use Ubuntu mono but now I use Jetbrains Mono but damn that comic sans looks better than I'd expect I might even give it a try!

My original intention was to come here and proclaim that you're a heretic. Having looked at it for a moment, I think that you're onto something here...

Whoever owns this whole server can you ban this guy. This is a crime to humanity

It looks surprisingly decent! Does it support ligatures?

I tried that this morning at work, as a joke.

It was still there when I got off.

This is cute~! I hated comic-sans when seeing it on lots of tacky corporate and school signs etc. but recently I ironically and then unironically fell in love with its whacky-ness, bold-ness and readability, (I use a Samsung phone, and used PT Mono on the S9, but then future phones blocked custom fonts, so I used one hack-ey Comic-Sans version since my mono ones are so underground no one developed a phone hack - now any font is possible again so I'm using the one below~ )

A few years ago my fav. font became PT Mono, from Google Fonts - cyrilic compatible, it has these angular edges, and swoopy circle curves, so cute <3

THEN there was this font printed on 2011 Pentax Q cameras and lenses that I loved, and couldn't find the original, but there was something very similar, STALKER1 and related similar fonts

PT MONO

STALKER1

I run my real thoughts through a filter of chatgpt with instructions to make it work appropriate, edit font to comic sans, then vary the grayscale of each individual character before I send out emails to people I hate.

Blatant trolling should be banned! Get the pitchforks everyone! :P

As long as it's a monospaced font I don't really care what the font is. (Wingdings excluded)

Might give it a try for a day.

Comic Sans is actually really good for dyslexic people. It's why I usually use Comic Sans or Comic Neue when I print stuff out for my dad.

pfft! Real devs use wingdings!

Every PR you make is going to be denied.

I don't care it shows up as my BitStream Sans Mono, I know you write in comic sans, DENIED.

Surprisingly readable. Some of the letters are really close to each other, and multiple capitals together look odd. I will try it 🙂

I don't hate it? If this had ligatures, I would consider actually using it. I use Fira Code Retina for now but I'm always down for more options

I'm going to try this after trying Intel's new font that's supposed to be made to accommodate for vision impairment.

https://github.com/intel/intel-one-mono

That actually looks pretty solid, will have to try it out.

I'm normally quite easy with fonts, for monospace it's usually Fira Code, but for certain tasks I like to use something different.

For instance, terminals usually it's ProFont, and for IRC it's Fantasque Sans. Fantasque Sans is kinda like Comic Sans.

Hmm... maybe I am a bit particular about fonts after all.

Shit I might just try this out. I hope my colleagues don’t notice.

Seriously, for coding I use daily Fantasque Sans Mono, which is based on Comic Sans. I love it.

It's interesting that you added serifs and monospacing to a sans serif font. It's almost like comic sans but with all the things that make it comic sans removed.

This is surprisingly not bad...

I feel like a whole new world has opened its doors to me. I’m using this tomorrow at work.

"Serious tho, Comic sans" four words I didn't expect today. Thanks for the heads up on legibility as a small font.

I unironically really like Comic Mono despite not super being a fan of Comic Sans (not cos it looks bad, I think it's actually really nice looking, just overused)

I keep thinking about switching to this font. I use Fira Code atm, and I'd miss the ligatures, but this genuinely looks a a lot more readable

That looks sooooooo nice

Who knew? Just make it monospace.

So despite the hate Comic Sans gets, squiggly fonts make it easier for dyslexics to read. Non-dyslexics can experience a similar effect by reading a book in serif then a non-serif font. I hate Comic Sans too lol but do what makes your life easier.

Saving that font for my e-reader tablet.

Suuuper legible and fast to read.

Need to give this a go at work tomorrow!

Comic Code is my go-to!

Might have to learn to code, love me some Comic sans

It's really weird to me how Internet sometimes decide to hate on things just for the sake of it.
I wouldn't be using it myself, because I'm not a fan of hand-written style fonts. But, I see no problem with Comic Sans.

I unironically love Comic Mono. I am not dyslexic, I have good eyesight, but I feel like I can read code so much more easily with it versus most other monospaced fonts.

A dude posted his neofetch on a Linux community and he uses fucking comic sans for his terminal. Probably will rot in hell

I love Comic Mono. I use Comic Code - it's not free but it does support ligatures, which was worth it to me. The legibility boost is excellent.

Yeah, I'm surprised how much I like the look of this. I'm into it.

Nothing wrong with that. I personally couldn’t switch to that.

If the font weight were ratcheted down a little, I'd be pretty happy with it.

Great to find another Comic Mono user! It's super easy to read. I've been using it in IDEs / Terminal for a while now.

I've even set up Stylus scripts to use it in GitHub and other sites as I find weird going back to the "normal" code fonts.

There was a YouTube programmer I used to watch called funfunfunction. He'd do a weekly video where he'd take a task, a framework, and a "handicap". One episode I remember someone suggested "comic sans lol" , which he set up, but it looked good

Ngl that is really easy on the eyes. Dammit.

Stumbled into this site while looking through other comments and apparently it was designed for the speech bubbles of a cartoon dog, not sure about the "legible at small sizes" claim - http://www.connare.com/whycomic.htm

You absolute madman

I'd love to see someone code in the actual Comic Sans rather than the awesomely adapted Comic Mono. Indentation be damned!

WolfgangsChannel also recently said he used a comics sans-lile font

Wow, that's kind of amazing. I'll be trying it out now. Thanks!

Whatever helps you to the path of a 10x developer, my friend.

omfg this is the perfect demo font

Does it support ligatures??

My eyes just can't adjust to this.

Goddamn it...

installs the font on his computer

nice, i’ve been using Comic Code for a couple years now which is similar

That's actually not bad.

somehow this doesn't offend my eyes the way comic sans usually does, so I guess that's a win?

Me too man! Been using it for over a year now, coming from Fira Code. It's actually a real enjoyable font to look at.

It's not even monospace

the very typeface you’ve been trained to recognize since childhood What does this mean? I feel like the one we learned from childhood would be Times New Roman since every teacher I had required that font.
