An AI designed keyboard layout (2021)

Dvorak touchtyper since 2010 is here ^_^ I appreciate any attempts to make August Dvorak's work even better. For example, that claster of wovels is not AI's work but Dvorak's. BTW there is one strange claim from my POW:

> QWERTY - 0% (baseline)

> Dvorak - +77%

> Colemak - +84%

> Workman - +101%

> Halmak - +134%

If author considers Colemak and Workman more efficient than Dvorak, I should not even to give this layout a try :) because I have tried these and can not report such experience. Probably it is because I am a piano player since 2016 and the fingers which are weak on average people are not that weak for me. Another rebuke to mention is that Halmak is not compatible with Programmer Dvorak. That idea of 7531902468 and three pairs of brackets, braces, parentheses (all paired symbols except diamond braces) is extremely handy while programming.

AFAIK, 7531902468 is also August's gem of mind, can your AI/HAL/whatever to design a layout with that row and at least [{}(=*)+] cluster untouched?

I love the prominence of the "Swedish Road sign" aka "Command Key" aka "Apple Key".
