Worst programming font ever

I probably won't use this font...

I don't know how to reply to such a statement. Befuddling.

I never thought I'd ever use the Dvorak keyboard layout, but I'm currently learning it right now. So I may use it at some point, but for now I'll stick with Courier New.

Why? Your choice in keyboards does not answer why you would consider this font.

For those of us apparently lacking in the ability to parse an analogy:
Dvorak Keyboard: Difficult to learn, may increase productivity once learned.
"Programmers' font": Difficult to learn, may increase productivity once learned.

I'll stick with both QWERTY and Inconsolata, thanks.

Because this font does have qualities that makes it more readable than some other fonts. It has a learning curve, but once past that, it could be more readable than any other font.

That works

For those of us apparently lacking in the ability to who can parse an analogy:
Dvorak Keyboard: Difficult to learn, may increase productivity once learned.
"Programmers' font": Difficult to learn, may increase productivity, but upon looking at it, is most likely to decrease productivity once if learned.

Fixed that for you.

Hence:

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.

Complete and utter sarcasm. How could it have been anything else?

It's good to keep people guessing.

As an aside, here's a beautiful and famous film for you that is anti-war, anti-nationalist, and anti-fascist. Don't miss out: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TWNl2IbVJMs

Dude, what is it with you and Japanese movies? You're like a fucking hipster or something.

Not to derail the thread, but this needs to be answered, here and now. It has nothing to do with hipsterism. You are completely missing the point. We're all aware of Hollywood films. No need to recommend films which people are aware of. As for Japanese films, most are aware of the Samurai films, the monster films, and likely the gangster films. That's how a lot of the public visualize Japanese cinama. But there's another class of Japanese films that most, such as yourself, are unaware of, and yet are not just considered great Japanese films, but are ranked as some of the greatest films ever made worldwide. Yet so many are unaware of them. Do yourself a big favor, and stop resisting because the messenger is me. As an example, the above recommended film (Twenty-four Eyes) is very powerful. You should experience films by the following Japanese directors: Yasujiro Ozu (Late Spring, Early Summer), Mikio Naruse (When a Woman Ascends the Stairs, Floating Clouds), Kenji Mizoguchi (Ugetso, Street of Shame), Masahiro Shinoda (Pale Flower), Hiroshi Teshigahara (Woman of the Dunes, The Face of Another) and Keisuke Kinoshita (Twenty-four Eyes). And from Tawain: Edward Yang (Yi Yi, A Brighter Summer Day). And from Hong Kong: Wong Kar-Wai (In the Mood for Love, Chungking Express, Days of Being Wild, 2046). And many others.

Ignore them at the risk of never discovering something wonderful. You don't know until you try. Post in the film thread, and continue this discussion. You're invited to debate me, argue with me, post your opinions, post your reviews, or learn more about these films. Give it a shot. You've got nothing to lose, and possibly something to gain.

You make a good point. Yes, there is more world culture out there. Hollywood is not the only place they make good movies. While the trailer for 24 eyes told me almost nothing about the movie, the description was sufficient to get me interested. Just do me this one favor? Next movie you suggest, go elsewhere than the land of the rising sun. Bollywood, maybe.

Frankly, I find most big budget Hollywood movies relatively shitty. And I would enjoy seeing more films posted

(I've seen some really good indie and fan films, too... so even in America, Hollywood ain't the only place to go)
