The APL [1] designers heard you and created a language impossible to type on almost every keyboard layout [2] ;-)
As for me, I've been using US International for a few years by now (because I use too many curly-braces languages and didn't want to give up being able to type ümläüts). But frankly, changing the keyboard layout just for a programming language is a bit evil. In that sense I liked BASIC and Pascal; I don't mind keywords instead of symbols that much either and I tend to be faster typing words anyway.

- itcmcgrath 14y agoThis made me search to see if there was any 256 key keyboards so I could have a key for every byte, but I apparently no one has been that crazy yet.
- ygra 14y agoI like many parts of Unicode ∖ Latin-1. 256 keys might not be enough ;-)
