Readability of programming ligatures is very different for people who are familiar with the language/font, and people who aren't.

For instance, look at the list of ligatures for Fira Code[1] and without referencing the monospace counterparts on the right, tell me if you can tell how to reproduce each one without a lot of guesswork.
