The functionality removed was file management, version control, compilation, building, and interface design. All the rest (text editing) is still already there.
Ha ha, only serious.
Seriously, I doubt Apple is close to allowing a compiler to run on an iPad.
EDIT: Apparently a sense of humour is not a common attribute around here.
- RandallBrown 7y agoThey already have the Playgrounds app on the iPad.
- qubex 7y agoYou’re right. I’m curious to now whether it’s compiled; and if so, what the underlying architecture of the compiler and runtime is.
- Nextgrid 7y agoPresumably the compiler itself was compiled for ARM. The rest doesn’t really have to change as the Swift compile was already designed to compile for ARM for production builds of apps.
