You can't please everyone. So might as well pick the most common keyboard layout among your users and call it typical computer keyboard. I'm afraid there's no

    generics with begin and end?

      I think Ada does something like that (type T is array of I with E) but yeah, I wouldn't advocate that :)

  There is no easy solution to the problem, so no one should pretend there is. Yes, if I program in Go, I have to type square brackets [] from time to time for slices. But for me it is more painful, so I strongly prefer the generics notation with parens (). It may be, that in the end the parens are the solution to use, but at least it should be considered in the discusion, that they are not very easy to use for a lot of non-English layouts. Just assuming anyone in the world would use an English layout, is quite offensive in my eyes.
