@thufie I would recommend Monolisa but It costs a pretty penny...
Victor mono supports cursive style for comments (or whatever you set it to) and ligatures so it should work for you:

@meluzzy As far as I know victor mono's variant with the cursive ligatures is the one that just broke for me. When I looked into it, it looked like I'd have to build the font myself to reenable it (it is opt-in now?) so that's why I am looking for another one. If you know where to find the right variant as a prebuilt font file asset I'd be very interested!
@thufie hmmm weird.
