There's something wrong with your comment, but I won't tell you where.

I use WSL2 as much as possible. It's great.

me on dvorak: 110 wpm (10-race average) on typeracer.com
If your typing speed is high percentile, odds are you'd be faster than all your friends anyway, regardless of dvorak / qwerty. (E.g. I type faster than every single one of my qwerty friends! ...)
Given that <0.1% use dvorak, there's >90% chance you won't see a single dvorak user in a random sample of 100 people. Not hard to see why the leaderboards will be "dominated" by qwerty.
Like others have said, dvorak is for comfort, not for speed. Dvorak is MUCH more comfortable than qwerty.
Also, Dvorak users almost never complain that they type more slowly than their qwerty days, once they've gotten used to it.
Many of us dvorak users also are competent at qwerty in a pinch (80 wpm qwerty here).

Might be worth trying Dvorak keyboard layout.
Has worked for many, me included.

"Single source of truth" is more meaningful than the overly simplistic "DRY".
If two things are _supposed_ to behave similarly, then not having duplicate code makes perfect sense.
If two things just _happen_ to behave similarly (at first), it may be a hasty generalisation to immediately refactor them to use the same code.

Many languages (other than English) are happy having adjectives behind.
As other commenters have observed, plenty of great reasons for doing so.

First three lines of the article were so unnecessarily wordy.
For an article that is supposed to be about effective communication.

A good (best?) way to learn F# might be to learn some Haskell and C# first.
Haskell makes sure you properly understand functional programming fundamentals. (And the syntax is very similar to F#.)
You'd want to learn enough C# anyway since .NET comprises largely C# code.

Same here. Dvorak is so much more ergonomic than QWERTY.
Wrist discomfort with QWERTY completely disappeared upon switching to Dvorak.
