If I had to do it again, I would have learned to write with my right hand due to occlusion. It gets worse if you try to learn how to write in Chinese (at least in modern orientations). I think the reason I became a programmer is just because keyboards were so liberating for me.

Same here. Totally agree with this!

For Asian scripts like Chinese, Japanese, and Korean, a mechanical pencil works wonders, especially for ideograms. Get one of those auto-rotating ones like the Kurutoga and there is nothing hard specifically for left-handed folk.

Or indeed, use vertical writing, which is particularly well-suited for left-handed use.
