Using classic English language literature from a hundred years ago when advertising the keyboard for programmers is faulty thinking in my opinion. Why not use code for your testing?

There is Programmer Dvorak, which solvea the right hand's excessive use. Though the numbers do get funky.

It's pretty unusual for me to just stream C++ code directly. Even when I know what I'm going to write, it doesn't come off my fingers in serial order. So for programming, I need good placement of editing commands, not characters for text entry.

It's the other way around for natural language in comments, e-mail, blog posts, etc.

C/C++ no,but it's not uncommon for me to stream of consciousness sizable blocks of Javascript or of HTML plus templating language special characters.
