Split kb symbol layer for dev/vim user
I have custom alpha layers and extremely optimized symbol layers, combos and other features in my keymap. It is not designed for web development, but it is good for VIM and Java.

Hands Down variation with only 20 keys
That made me think. If I would adapt Romak for 20 keys, it would be something like this:

Suggest a layout for 5 column and 3 row split keyboard
But since you are a programmer, I invite you to check the fancy programmer features that I have implemented in my keymap. I still need to rework on the documentation, but you can take some inspiration from there if you decide to design your own.

Well-known optimized layouts
Romak also has some very nice attributes, as do poqtea and uciea. I also find Canary to have a lot of merit.

Cheapest way to try Miryoku style layout
There is also the unusual option to handwire a keyboard without soldering, as I did here, but the result might not be so reliable.

APT (V1?) vs Engram
You can see my layout here.

Beakl-HC - No more pinky and ring finger pain!
I started my own layout, Romak, using BEAKL as inspiration, with similar objectives, mostly making it more suitable for my home language and reducing the load on pinkies and indexes, concentrating in the middle and ring fingers instead. Another thing I did was to remove the top row key from both the central and pinkie columns. Later I also removed the bottom row key from the pinkies.

In need for a beginner guide
My first handwired board checks all your requirements, and I have some pictures of the process, but it is not a complete guide. It might help though. And I think the FFKB case can be great for a first handwired project.

Custom 60% layout I've been using, designed for Canadian programmers. Critiques please!
Really nice work, congrats. My custom layout is designed for both Portuguese and English, and I have some of the same ideas implemented, with similar reasoning. I also have some programming features that remind yours, but I preferred to remap hjkl instead.

Best way to build hot swap into a handwire?
I've used two different options in my builds. You can see them in the build logs: FFKB and Rommana.

Dactyl case from JLCPCB
Well I do not have experience with long-term usage of white resin, maybe it'll take a year or more. You can always spray-paint it if it happens (I do that right away). Black ones are more dark gray, yes, I quite like it though. You can take a look on my photos https://github.com/zzeneg/picachoc36

Any ergo keyboards with no pinky keys?
As for layouts, my fingers prefer to have 3rd/4th pinky keys on the side, like my PicaChoc36 https://github.com/zzeneg/picachoc36
