I think they can be a bit more curly/rounded than they are.\r\n\r\nFor comparison, I started looking at monospace fonts that I used earlier.\r\n\r\n![hack-font-bracket-pairs](https://cloud.githubusercontent.com/assets/6792988/10284138/1d6eb116-6ba0-11e5-90c3-ee0383875fbd.png)\r\n\r\nNow I realize that part of the reason is that I used a lot to seeing Luxi Mono and/or Input Mono most of my day. However, I think Hack can benefit from bending its braces a bit.\r\n\r\n(On the contrary, Hack bent its less-than and greater-than more than enough.

This is, in part, a style issue however we want to determine whether there are source code usability concerns that should be addressed with these glyphs.  We are developing an approach to systematically and more objectively examine issue reports like this one.  These tools are all in development and we are not prepared to generate proposals or make decisions quite yet.  Our thoughts about any changes will be based on examination of the current shapes and spacing, as well as common collocalizations of adjacent glyphs and spaces, across a broad range of source code.  This will be vetted through public review of these proposals before we introduce changes in the design.  For this issue, we will post here.   There are numerous other similar issues (both reported and not at this stage) that we intend to approach in the same fashion.  Please keep an eye out for more information and continue to provide both positive and negative feedback as this process begins to shed some light on type + source code.  \r\n\r\ncc: @burodepeper"}}
