Bad interaction with Swift's string interpolation

[tonyarnold]

I've come across a situation with a ligature that I'd prefer not to display. I understand that this might not be possible, but here's a report all the same:

Given the following Swift string:

let somePath = "/administration/organizations/\(anotherString)"

Using JetBrains Mono produces the following result:

Obviously the /\ is unintentional, and probably quite situation/language specific.

Would #11 (Spacing only ligatures variant) help for that?

It's quite annoying actually which forces me to back to Fira Code when I write Swift code. Please fix this ASAP. Thank you.

Consulted with @tonsky on matter of \/ /\. Looks like there is no way to make them work good. Too many exclusions, so in 1.0.3 we will remove thees ligatures.

Ah, that's a shame.

Look, I have to say that I understand that the use of JetBrains Mono with Swift probably isn't the primary use case so I'd be understanding if you left these ligatures in if they don't affect languages such as your own (Kotlin).

A coding font should have no bias toward any specific programming languages.
