    This is a keyboard layout generator with support for multiple layers and punctuation optimization. This project is half baked because I can't figure out a set of weights to make it generate great layouts (it generates decent layouts, but not any layouts which are :chefskiss:). Also, at some point I would like to move the analysis away from dealing with floating point numbers and move it towards integers.

    The design is quite interesting because it uses Jane Street's Incremental library to heavily cache intermediate results. As the generator is running, it tries random swaps and then re-evaluates the score. Oftentimes a swap will affect one part of the keyboard, but not the other... for instance if you swap two keys on the left hand, then it will not affect anything on the right hand. In that case, this tool will only recompute the parts that changed instead of recomputing the entire layout.

    I still haven't done any benchmarking to see if this _actually_ improves performance, or whether it just makes me feel better. :)
