Programming

Pretty much all programming languages in use today have been invented decades after the keyboard.

The keyboard was originally invented for typewriters, but since they don't interact with anything and are self-contained systems, typewriters don't need their keys standardized. However, the keyboard converged as HP, Brother et al. brought the typewriter forward, especially near the end when typewriters were keyboards connected to printers.

Early computers weren't programmed with keyboards at all and used punch cards to be programmed. As you move forwards with the invention of the computer as we know it today, you find out that the modern keyboard was invented to be able to type most characters in use at the time (a classic example is that the @ sign was used by tellers on tills, to mark stuff like 2 units @ $5 per), and actual standards body such as iso and ANSI simply implemented that.

Early personal computers were not powerful enough to compile programs quickly(and compilers were very expensive), so for a while all programming was done either in assembly, which requires very few special characters, or in higher lever languages by people who could pay to get their programs compiled. These higher lever languages, such as B (precursor to C), were often written right on paper by hand, or by typewriter. After this point, home compilers became more and more accessible (the internet basically guaranteed you could get a compiler if needed), and this was the last point in history you could design a language with characters not present on a standard keyboard (you could still have a nonstandard typewriter, or write them by hand for example). After this and the explosion of home computing, people designed their own languages that they were able to use themselves, using their own keyboards.

Worth noting that there exist languages today that you cannot type, pretty much at all. They are however largely considered esolangs (esoteric languages) and most of their use is relegated to the practice of code-golf, in which a programmer tries to accomplish a task using the fewest bytes. Since the characters on a keyboard make up a fraction of all characters available in Unicode or even just ASCII, these languages try to increase the number of things you can do with a single characters by disregarding the fact you can't type most of them, lowering the amount of bytes one needs to do a task.

An example of this is O5AB1E (pronounced "osable"), which has over 250 single-character commands, such as Δ which "repeats code until 'a' doesn't change".

An example (that you can't type) is: yā<ã.Δ¹sŸèOQ

This program gets an input n and a string of numbers, then outputs the first run in the string that sums to n. The program is explained here

C supports alternate ways of typing some of its punctuation, for programmers whose keyboards didn't support them all. For example, if you can't type [ ] you can use ??( ??) instead. (There are other ones that use angle brackets, but I can't type them here because Lemmy escapes them incorrectly. Irony.)

The usual example of a programming language using especially unusual characters is APL, where all built-in functions are all represented by single characters, mostly drawn from mathematical notations, Greek alphabet, and so on. For example, ⍋ is the "sort" function.

It was a noisy co-evolution where both languages and keyboards keep changing to best fit each other.

While the letter layout of our keyboards is heavily influenced by typewriters, the set of symbols on them changed a lot with times, and for some times there was a lot of diversity on them. Our current design is as much a result of languages like MPL never really popularizing as much as the lack of adoption of those languages is a result of the popular keyboard designs.

Not only do the Languages orient themselves to fit to the keyboard, they pretty much only consider the English keyboard layout.

Modern keyboards are an evolution of the old typewriter that existed before computers as we know them and programming as we know it existed, so I would say keyboard came first

Programming languages are build around the standard keyboard. Keyboards had most of the symbols you're thinking of from their typewriter days. You can see most of the special characters in these small typewriters from the mid 1900s.

With things like electric Wheel Writer typewriters, adding extra keys and symbols were less of a complexity issue and you started to see a few more extra symbols.

Recognize that there never has been a hard standard for layouts and symbols, just the industry copying and converging on systems that became popular.

I won't consider any keyboard to be designed for programming unless it has dedicated keys for characters like {}() < >_+| & !*:" without needing to hold shift for them (Lemmy seems to be improperly escaping my less-than sign and ampersand)

ALGOL-60 had its own keyboard (sort of): https://retrocomputing.stackexchange.com/questions/16082/was-there-an-input-device-capable-of-entering-all-algol-60-symbols-with-correct

Some of the "toy" languages used for code-golf can use some very non standard characters. Saying "all programming languages" is going to be very restrictive.

Have a look at APL
