How do you imagine the coding UI would work? It strikes me that coding is extremely keyboard dependent, and also a case where screen space is important, so it's like a worst case scenario for a soft keyboard.
- nl 7y agoThere are plenty of (fairly reasonable) hard keyboards for iPads. And of course there are alternate paradigms for programming that rely on a lot less typing.

- memsom 7y agoTake a look at the Continuous IDE for iOS and iPadOS. It's C# based, but it will compile and run any code supported by the platform, including UIKit, SpriteKit/SceneKit and Xamarin.Forms. The compiler is the Roslyn compiler. The only limitation is that it uses an interpreter to run the code.
