Intel One Mono Typeface
I like it a lot! Definitely in the camp of “comic sans is over-hated for poor reasons, and might even have legibility benefits for dyslexia”, and I considered a few comic sans inspired monospaced fonts before settling on Source Code Pro. The leaders were Fantasque (https://github.com/belluzj/fantasque-sans/) and Comic Code (https://tosche.net/fonts/comic-code). (Comic Code’s creator actually links to the font you linked, Comic Mono, as an example of a free font with the same spirit!)
Ultimately I found that anything descended from or inspired by comic sans ended up a little too busy for my eyes.

One of my students shared their VSCode window…
If paying for a font isn't your thing but you're curious this is a free version I used to use of a similar idea. https://github.com/belluzj/fantasque-sans

How to make Emacs always display zeros with slashes?
For Emacs I use Fantasque Sans Mono, which has a slashed zero and some other good features (e.g. clear difference between 1 and l).

Modern Mono
I thought it would be silly or I would hate it, but the comic sans like nature of Fantasque Sans Mono really surprised me and worked well for coding/IDE use (especially in Python): https://github.com/belluzj/fantasque-sans

new rules at work… I’m turning in my 2 week notice asap
I know you didn't ask but I have mild dyslexia and a friend turned me on to the font he uses for coding called Fantasque Sans. I found it to be pleasantly readable like Comic Sans without being as stylistically offensive.

What's your favorite Nerd Font?
Fantasque Sans (https://github.com/belluzj/fantasque-sans) - I love it and use it for years in all editors! For terminal I use a patched variant of Ubuntu Mono.

Comic Mono
Actually looks quite nice, but when I try it for coding I find it a bit too dense, compared to Hack [0] which gets it just about right for me.

What font config do you use on emacs?
Haven't seen any love for Hack yet. Here's my setup, which is also using noto sans for the variable pitch font.

Finally started playing around with custom fonts (fallen into a bit of a rabbit hole lol)
I am very fond of Hack myself

Okay, this got practically no notes on Tumblr, so I'm going to try this here. Comment with your favorite font and prepare to be criticized.
Haha! Get HACK'D!
