All of these features just add a tiny little bit of legibility, maybe a couple times in a word or a handful of times in a line. This makes some of the things that were hardest to read before just a little bit more legible, and that makes a considerable difference when you're looking at hundreds or thousands of characters on your screen at once. Typesetting code is also an environment where swiftly and correctly identifying a particular glyph is extremely important, probably more important than it is in many other kinds of typesetting. Giving the readers just that much of an extra boost towards discerning the identity of these individual characters lends itself to a rhythm and texture of code that feels a little calmer and easier to follow.

Google Developers provides a variety of resources, including documentation, tutorials, code samples, and support forums, to help developers build applications that integrate with Google services. Additionally, Google Developers hosts events such as hackathons, developer conferences, and code labs to bring developers together and foster collaboration. When I see a list like this, I begin thinking of how much typesetting is involved in these pursuits, and how a type family might be made to help the talented folks at Google Developers speak to their wonderful community. In addition to these resources and events, they also cultivate and support developer communities around the world.
