Anglo-Saxon is nice.

Oh, that is nice too.  I'm not a fan of QWERTY.  Of course I doubt I'll ever use Colemak ?.

I was thinking Khmer, or Baybayin, or Hangul, or Linear A.

Maybe someone could write an APL interpreter and/or compiler, and thus of course an APL keyboard would be a necessity—not to mention that the APL character set would also have to be supported...

I had a class in college that touched on APL (one of four languages we spent two weeks each covering). That is some terse hard to read code (though I'm sure if I had cause to use it as often as C / C++ I'd be used to it and find it second nature).

First one to make this code play Conway's Game of Life on an X16 gets a gold star:

life ← {⊃1 ⍵ ∨.∧ 3 4 = +/ +⌿ ¯1 0 1 ∘.⊖ ¯1 0 1 ⌽¨ ⊂⍵}

Solid gold star or just gold colored? I need more details!

You can get the whole roll of 1.5" stars if you make it as fast as a S/370
