Description

@tonsky Love the font! Not a huge fan of the === and !== (triple-line) It doesn't look as elegant as the => and == and != symbols. Are you open at all to modifying it? Not exactly sure what font capabilities are, but maybe a "bold" version of the == and != rather than triple line?

Also, not sure what it could look like, but "coolness factor" demands a ligature for += and == :)

Maybe a + in the middle of an = so it looks something like =[+]= and =[-]= but taking up two symbols, not 5 ;)

Anyway, I know everyone has opinions. Thanks for taking the time to read mine. And thanks again for the awesome font!
