Here's an Iosevka config that mimics Berkeley Mono for those who don't want to or can't pay money for it. https://ahatem.github.io/IoskeleyMono/

I've had the Berkeley Mono trial on my system for a while now and tried it every so often when I changed up my terminal/editor themes, but it never quite clicked with me. I tried Ioskeley and I personally prefer the way it looks on my code. There are enough differences that I'd call it a bad clone if that were the intention, but a good font if you generally like how Berkeley Mono looks but want something different.

(Note: I have paid for fonts before and wouldn't hesitate to buy a coding font if it fit my preferences)

It's the first time I see any of these fonts and I'm more of a bitmap font type but one difference is the parentheses are much more readable in the Ioskeley clone than in the rounded-corner–brackets Berkeley.
