I always ask when one of these discussions comes up. Can anyone recommend a for that does all of these:

* proportional (yes) * sans serif * has the common programming ligatures

The proportional with programming ligatures bit tends to reduce the search space to zero.

Oh and since we are volunteering, I like dank mono which I paid like $30 for.

Iosevka Aile (the proportional variant of Iosevka) meets all of these criteria. I’ve been using a customised version of the serif variant, Iosevka Etoile, for a while, and it’s been fantastic for both code and prose in my experience.
