Victor Mono

Victor Mono is an open-source monospaced font with optional semi-connected cursive italics and programming symbol ligatures.

It’s also a very, very nice typeface. I’m always excited to see something this well made, and the logic behind it’s creation rings true: I always find myself moving to another programming typeface after a short while, but I have high hopes for this one.

Dr. Drang on COBAL and reporting

Dr. Drang, on COBOL:

...while the age of a language certainly has some bearing on how cool it seems to young programmers, it has nothing to do with how well it works. It’s not as if COBOL has stiff knees and has to be careful when taking the stairs.
