I cant see who would make such a decision but is there any such language?
The reason I ask this (or some trivia, if you like) is that I just finished making the eighth iteration of my “developer” version of dvorak (big emphasis on special characters). And four keys are currently not used!
Since I dont ever want to stumble upon a new language to try, only to find out that my layout lacks a crucial special character I decided to ask the community.
If there never is a need for any other characters besides the basic ones, what would be the best use (for a programmer of course, this is SO) of unused keys? Something from the extended ascii table? Or purposefully leave them unused and do something cool with with AutoHotKey?
Yes, there is (at least one): APL
Here is Conway’s Game of Life written in APL:

It uses this keyboard mapping:
