I agree that Apple will eventually provide some sort of Xcode support. For now, Pythonista is a proof of concept that you can effectively write small Python programs on an iPad. I plug my small iPad Pro into my USB-C interface large monitor and a few applications take advantage of dual screens to show different content. For now, I find that I can code while traveling using a remote Linux server, Working Copy, Prompt ssh shell app, and Textastic for local editing. Not very convenient, but it works. What is convenient on my iPad while traveling is writing. I use leanpub with markdown files stored in a github repo for each book, edit and do git stuff with Working Copy, and generate review PDFs on leanpub’s web app. This works fine. On rare occurrences I use Microsoft Word on my iPad, works great, but I prefer markdown and leanpub.
