> Swapped _ and - for easier snake style variable names

Just in time for me to start using hyphenated variables in Perl 6, so it's no longer helps!

> Swapped [] and {} for easier curly brackets access in JavaScript/CSS/...

What? You use both in both languages, object/array syntax in JS, and selector attribute and style blocks in CSS.

> Swapped | and \ coz, who really needs a backslash anyways?

Every language that allows interpolated strings with escapes? I use them more than |, but that's likely because I use Perl and get to type "or", which I find much more readable.

I look forward to having time to try out your new layout in the next tau years, as long as nothing more interesting comes along to replace the bottom of my list of interesting stuff to look at within that time.

you're so cute when you try to look all grownup and important )

What, is this layout serious? I would reply seriously if I thought it was, and that reply would be along the lines of the above with less snark, and a note that I have an immediate aversion to anything that labels itself as "rockstar" seriously.

I thought it means "Rockstar Games developers". No idea why would they force this crappy layout, though.

layout is questionable itself could go as a set of rules for karabiner though.
