Thank you! Both Tinkerstellar and Juno embed a Python interpreter built for iOS from CPython, no WebAssembly. As per what people use Juno for — great question!

Thank you! Both Tinkerstellar and Juno embed a Python interpreter built for iOS from CPython, no WebAssembly.
As per what people use Juno for — great question! I think it's a combination of both, but leaning towards learning (hence I had an idea to launch Tinkerstellar). The hardware is somewhat limiting, but I think it's the iPadOS that is the primary limiting factor here. That said, according to feedback I hear Juno is still great for prototyping and drafting something quickly, not just for learning — and some people absolutely do use it for serious work.
- localhost 5y agoThanks great to know that folks can get work done on an iPad too. What is it about iPadOS that's limiting for juno.sh? The difficulty in putting two apps side by side (I still need to Google how to do it on my 11" iPad Pro running iOS 14.7.1!) or something else?
- navoshta 5y agoThe limitations are more on the under-the-hood side of things, e.g. you can't link any compiled code after you submit the app to the App Store — which means no way of letting the user install arbitrary packages (something a Python IDE could definitely use!). Also very aggressive OS behaviour when it comes to handling computational resources wrt 3rd party apps, it's things like that.
