It works great and the config is simple. It doesn't handle triggering things from those keypresses, but you've probably already got something running that does that.

I happily use Helix for Rust, etc projects, and as a general editor. I switch back to VSCode for TypeScript/Svelte projects because the plugins make it more productive for me. I do miss the editing experience and need to check if there's a VSCode plugin that lets me not confuse my muscle memory.
Helix was the thing that finally made me remap my caps lock key to esc

I killed my MS Natural Ergonomic 4000 by fumbling half a cup of tea into it. I miss having the scroll/zoom in the centre, since I had to replace with the new Microsoft LXM-00004 model (with the stupid Office button) and that's just got dead space there. Some customisable buttons would be perfect.
I've seen some ergonomic mechanical custom setups, but I've never been brave enough to start down that rabbit hole.
I just had mine arrive yesterday!
I have one of these
I'm using ch57x-keyboard-tool to configure it, because I don't fancy running some random closed-source Chinese code (the manual links to a file on Google Drive). It also means I can move over my config when I switch to Linux.
I have two keys for switching between headphones and speakers, and some set up for shortcuts I forget (like ctrl-shift-e for the network monitor in Firefox). One key types "hello" just because I can.
I've got the large knob controlling volume, and I can click it to toggle mute. The other two are currently set to scroll, but I don't need that as my mouse has better ergonomics for scrolling.
I still have plenty of unused keys and it's got three layers so I won't be running out in the foreseeable future.
The Phoronix comments are notoriously toxic - I went to the article mostly to witness the incoherent rage in the comments and wasn't too disappointed.
I disagree, they have it working on the nRF52840 (which is new and supports new things like NFC and Thread/Zigbee). This means people can start developing features against that chipset.
Hardware doesn't mean "production-ready model".
I've coded in some esolangs, but never one that's nondeterministic - seems a nightmare! The design has the hottest paths most likely to degrade so I guess the idea is to have redundancy in your code?
The simple hello-world example is already 2002 lines long, so "production-ready" Furchtbar must be enormous.
This isn't a million miles from what bitcoin mining does, although in that case they're trying to find hashes that start with a lot of zeroes.
The uncropped version makes it a bit clearer:
It's also clearer that it's from an AI.
I just saw the top two thirds, and had to scroll to see the punchline and the comm - what a pleasant surprise! For me, it's the 3DO but that's too niche for most.

That doesn't work, though.
For a recursive acronym, you want something like ADFRA Didn't Forget Recursive Acronyms.
I don't see a website linked, you might want to edit that in to your post.
