Do any of you program on non-US keyboard layouts?

I've used a US-QWERTY keyboard layout my entire life. I've seen other layouts that do things like reduce the size of the enter/backspace keys, move the pipe operator (|) and can't wrap my head around how I would code on those.
What are your experiences? Are there any layouts that you prefer for coding over US English? Are there any symbols that you have a hard time reaching ($ for example)?
Oh, yeah you should. I mean I'd advice against it, but since you already know the pain of switching layouts… sure, go ahead! :D
I prefer Bone over Neo, Neo has quite broad software support though. I'm using Bone on Linux and macOS without any issues.
Could you please give a few insights into why bone over neo? I've used neo now for a few years, curious if it would be a fun extension to switch again!
(dead thread I know, but whatever)
It's very similar, more like an evolution from Neo than a revolution. They switched a few keys and if you're starting fresh I think I'd recommend Bone, but if you already know Neo I'm not sure switching is worth it. It could be fun though (if you consider learning a new layout fun ^^).
Especially because the thread was dead your answer is highly appreciated!
Appreciate it <3
