Have you tried Quinze? https://www.programmingfonts.org/#quinze

I was on a quest to find the narrowest font and Quinze was the answer. It's something like 20% narrower than Iosevka and M+. I can't find an easy comparison with PragmataPro but if Iosevka is a free interpretation of PragmataPro like you mentioned then Quinze should be narrower as well.

In fact Quinze is so narrow that when I attempted to force its use in all monospace text in the browser, readability took a hit instead of improving. This is because at the same height it is much smaller than "normal" fonts. In my coding setup I use a huge font size which works great with the narrow width.

I guess the downside is that Quinze is very minimal: pretty much only ASCII, no ligature, no customization etc. None of those bother me.

Consider the chance of winning at least 100 times. It's 1 over 2^100, and you win at least 2^100. So the small chance and the big reward "balance out", kind of.

But the reward is not limited there. Once you reach each and every "balance point", the next step is 50% chance for doubling the reward. If you currently have X, the value of continuing to play is 1.5X. This is independent of how big X is, or how unlikely you have made it this far (sorta a reverse Gambler's Fallacy). And it's why the expected value is infinite.
