Cursive unfortunately looks very distracting. Having to context-switch when reading the code between two character sets is going to be exhausting - I felt it even when looking at the example screenshots, I can imagine how taxing it would be to go through hundreds of pages of code in this mode. The non-cursive letters look pretty clean but I'm afraid cursive kills it as programmer's font for me.

The font includes both cursive and normal italic variants. The non-cursive version is in the files ending with "Oblique". I set the editor to only use cursive for comments, that works nicely for me - in actual code it would definitely be too much.

Oh thanks. I didn't realize you could enable italics only for comments. That's exactly what I was looking for!

Been using this font for about 6 weeks now, and from my experience i actually found this super readable and easy on the eyes. Had to just make font size slightly larger in VS Code, but very happy with this.
