What's the deal with the uncommon font of the post title? I saw it here on HN too and was wondering if it's just aestetics, of if there's something else.
It is using (abusing?) Greek letters. I actually kind of hate that as those letters don't necessarily sound anything like what they look like to English speakers. It is effectively gibberish.
Oh man, missing the fun! I used to overwrite my stock system font with the glyphs from a greek font just to practice learning Greek letters. They largely map!
