Ligature request: Swift \(
In Swift, \( is used for string interpolation:
var name = "Tim McGraw"
"Your name is \(name)"
(source)
Could a ligature be added for this?
The backslash and the opening parenthesis could be squished together so that the end of the slash merges with the tip of the parenthesis, something like:
As I have frequently said, a "escape for literal open bracket" is a single character in my mind, so no conflict imho

In LaTeX, \( ... \) is used for the inline math environment. Hence, if \( gets added, I would expect a similar ligature for \) as well, so that it looks symmetric.
Agreed. Heck, why not \[ and \] have their own ligatures, too? And a whole set of ligatures for regex e.g. (?=, etc (I suck at memorizing regex lookbehind/ahead so correct me if I'm wrong :sweat_smile:).

Would it be better if these two symbols just get closer but not connected?
