Can't work out if this is a joke font or not.

In the sample program he provided, I find the middle section (the bulk of the code) to be impressively readable even at a quick glance.

If you don't like the font, why would you consider it useful on a small monitor, but not on a large monitor?

I couldn't read it at first glance. More like a novelty like programming in BrainF*ck.

The font is terrible and a very very poor choice for programmers.
Courier New is the font of fonts for programming.

Courier New lacks a slashed zero. My favourite is Inconsolata.

After a quick comparison in my text editor, Incosolata is far superior to this ridiculous beast. It's like trying to code in Cyrillic. On a related note, I'll be switching to Incosolata from now on. Thanks!

That's god-awful. This makes computer code look like computer code looks for most people.

That's nothing, when I was young we used to code in assembly with hieroglyphs represented as hole cards on embedded systems while scratching our butt crack.

I think that this font could be useful like the Dvorak keyboard layout. The Dvorak keyboard is designed to be usable and fast, but not many people use it. I probably won't use this font, but I think it could be extremely useful.
