Perhaps you haven't heard about Pythonista, which is a full Python programming environment available on the App Store. Now there's also Playgrounds, which is a Swift programming environment that comes with the iOS 10 beta and runs on the iPad (you can even invoke iOS frameworks, apparently) — yes, this is from Apple itself, and yes, they're bending their own rules. But your original statement is not strictly true.
- Razengan 10y agoThere has always been things like Codea as well, for a long time now: [1] http://twolivesleft.com/Codea/ http://twolivesleft.com/Codea/
- Longhanks 10y agoIn what way are they bending their own rules? The application comes with it's own Swift compiler and exposes only the public APIs. Nothing Pythonista couldn't do already.
- nickmain 10y agoPythonista cannot open code from other apps so all code has to originate in the app (other than copy-paste). Swift Playgrounds can round-trip with XCode.
