It looks like they have a word (or multiple) for each letter of the alphabet. So CD is "change drum", git clone is " guest ice traps space cap look [Ctrl right - autocomplete]", where you can read the commands from the first letters of each word.

I use Colemak DH, and have done for a few years. I could never touch type very well on QWERTY anyway so using QWERTY I am no slower than I was originally (in fact, I'm probably faster, since I now use my fingers properly). As long as it isn't very frequent, using hunt-and-peck on any QWERTY keyboards you come across is fine, and touch typing a different layout won't affect it.

The web client uses Stockfish compiled to WASM which is decently fast.

If you're not an IM/GM, it's "good enough"

I wouldn't really call Orcish / Dwarvish 'full languages' - they aren't developed that much. However, the two major Elvish languages (Quenya and Sindarin) are both a lot fuller.


Related to [1] - since Toki Pona has such a limited set of sounds, it seems like it would be a great fit for stenography...

There are twenty three keys on a steno machine. With only a hundred-word language the current machine would certainly work. But with so few words even the machine could be simplified.
