I'm always looking for ways to be more productive, and I've been reading a lot about typing using a Dvorak keyboard.
It looks like this would be much more productive for writing normal prose, but what about for programming?
I'm skeptical that it would be effective, since the use of semicolons, colons, brackets, and ampersands are much more common in programming than they are in every day typing.
Has anyone had any experience with this?
There are Dvorak layouts specifically for programming: http://www.kaufmann.no/roland/dvorak/
