Pretty much all programming languages out there were designed with QWERTY layout in mind. You see, who in his right mind would make brackets more easily reachable than parenthesis? Hence, many many developers use a US layout instead of their native one, even if their native one is somewhat similar to the US one. This is true for pretty much all European layouts and certainly for more foreign ones. Its a mess, basically.
