Description
Hacking JS & Jade, I'm not sure if those are quad = or tripple ===; the lines aren't equidistant & one is thicker.
Atom, size 12
Seems more normal at size 11.
I like the idea; hopefully fixable.

Research direction
Start by reproducing the rendering in Atom on Windows 7 with ClearType at font sizes 11 and 12, using the JavaScript and Jade examples from the issue. Compare the triple-equals ligature's spacing and stroke weight; done means the ligature renders evenly and is distinguishable from four equals signs.
