I'm not a programmer, but the advantages of Colemak are fundamentally related to writing English. Programming doesn't get any real boost, special characters are still an afterthought (pretty much all on right pinkie). And yeah, i only use Colemak on laptops/desktops. I don't use external keyboards with phones and tablets, so it's all done with two thumbs, which have their own muscle memory.
