What would be a good code font to use for those?
I've recently become partial to Fira Mono.

It has nice open counters, tall braces that don't overextend,
and relatively weighty punctuation.

There are a few others that may be worth considering here. I
don't like the condensed fonts so much because I prefer "O" not
be as narrow as "0". For zeros, dot > slash ≫ open. (I used a
dotted version of Droid Sans Mono for a long time.)

Fira Mono looked ugly to me. I use Input Mono for a while (Input
Sans and
Input Serif are available as well).

Not very smooth like Consolas etc, but it is very readable.
