I don't think there are many Lua-only programmers around; C(++), for 
example, has a ~ operator. Besides, in Linux/Unix ~ is the home directory.
Many national keyboards have problems with other symbols too. Typing 
braces on an Italian keyboard is not fun, not least because the required 
key combination tends to vary depending on the device maker.

As many others, I've solved the problem once and for all by setting the 
US layout and typing blindly on whatever keyboard I happen to use.
(well... writing in French requires a lot of Alt-nnn, but for 
programming it's perfect)
