Yes, and you can't access the vast majority of services the phone offers without a hell of a lot of latency. If you can at all. JS is a joke compared to the cap

Yes, and you can't access the vast majority of services the phone offers without a hell of a lot of latency. If you can at all. JS is a joke compared to the capabilities of a c compiler.
- icebraining 11y agoIf you're advanced enough you feel the need for more, you can get the compiler then - they're still available, just not bundled. JS is more than enough to learn programming and write some useful apps.

I don't believe you can acquire a C compiler for the iPad without buying an actual computer. At which point, why get the iPad again? With just JS, it's a toy. A powerful toy, yes, but it's a small subset of what's possible with a computer, and one that leaves a very bitter taste in my mouth.
- icebraining 11y agoI agree, the iPad is a joke. But we were talking about mobile generally, and you can get a C compiler for Android: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.n0n3m4.droidc https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.n0n3m4.dro... You can even run Debian -with plenty of its software, like Apache, Nginx and MySQL- on (some) Android devices.
