Coding Font Selection 'Tournament'
I like the build of Iosevka that the Zed editor people made, called Zed Mono. It's hosted on github [0] but there are no screenshots. You can see kind of how it looks in the screenshots of their editor on their website though [1]

Comic Mono
While we're in this thread suggesting comic-style monospaced fonts, I can recommend Monaspace Radon. It actually works!

I actually really like Comic Sans and that style of font. Don't understand the haters!

Server Mono: A Typeface Inspired by Typewriters, Apple's SF Mono and CLIs
I agree that this is a bad decision for programming, but the reason most fixed-width fonts do that is that they can look visually uneven if they don't use exaggerated serifs on narrow characters. It can even get to the point where words look like they have spaces in them if the wrong characters are next to each other.
Monospace (https://monaspace.githubnext.com/) has a feature that dynamically changes between different versions of characters and moves them inside their space in the font grid to make up for that. But even so, its bottom serifs on 1, I, and l extend to both sides.
Cascadia Code (https://github.com/microsoft/cascadia-code) has a lower-case L whose bottom serif only extends to the right. It's the typeface I use for writing code, and IMO, it's currently the best option available.
