I don't have backticks on my keyboard, so I use them only when they

there is a more obvious way to do it in Python, and Python tries to
keep only one obvious way to do things).

Python's `xyz` is equivalent to repr(xyz). I think it is removed in
Python 3 more because `...` is not worth the specialness as repr(). But
D's `...` is much more worthy as a convenient literal syntax when
involving '"' or '\'.
(I know some keyboard doesn't have '[' and ']'. So having no '`'
shouldn't be the reason it is removed from the language.)
Keyboards without []? This makes programming nearly impossible O_O
And standard Norwegian layout has them on AltGr+8/9. The pain.
But using US int'l has the added advantage of confusing the hell out
of my cow-orkers when they try to use my confuser (which has thus earned
that title :p).
Switch to programmer dvorak and they'll never touch your computer again.
