It's meant to replace MacOS eventually
- chadlavi 7y agoOnce they give access to a terminal (even if it's sandboxed) and start letting developers port apps like vscode and sketch to iPadOS, there will be 0 barrier any more for me personally to making the leap.
- simonh 7y agoYour wish is granted. http://osxdaily.com/2018/01/08/get-terminal-app-ios-command-line/ http://osxdaily.com/2018/01/08/get-terminal-app-ios-command-... Bit limited, but it’s a start. Personally I prefer Pythonista with the Stash shell command extensions package. https://github.com/ywangd/stash https://github.com/ywangd/stash
- Keyframe 7y agoI love ma iPad. It replaced laptop for me for almost everything I do. Even the MS Office suite is great. There’s even vim for it, but it’s half there. What I miss the most is having an ability to go into a zsh, spin up my vim, run node, gcc, acme+vice (I code for c64 as a hobby)... Essentially, the dev side of laptop use is missing. And I really miss it. It feels like the machine could handle it with ease, but Apple won’t have it.

- stephen_g 7y agoPretty sure they've specifically said that's not the case. There's always been rumors that Apple are going to switch the Mac to ARM and make it only run iOS, but this is going the other way if anything, with iPadOS splitting off from iOS.
