#2Is there a reason no one has built a Cygwin-like environment for iOS yet? As in, is it because (1) it's time-consuming, (2) it's tricky, or (3) Apple won't allow it on their App Store?

#3Alternative title: "Hitting yourself in the head with a hammer, because it feels so great when you stop."

#4If I could code on an iPad Pro, I’d finally get rid of my MacBook Pro.
I think that’s exactly why apple doesn’t allow this at all...

Based on the discussions[0] going on for the iSh x86 emulator[1] from a few months ago I think its a combination of all three, but mainly (3).

#7How is the experience with web IDEs like cloud9 or repl.it?

#8I haven’t looked into it beyond typing a couple of lines into the terminal but I’m wondering how useful iSh will be for people trying to go down this road.

#9Codea [0] provides a nice Lua development sandbox and will export projects that can be turned into standalone apps via Xcode.
It is geared towards game development and is currently somewhat locked down with respect to importing/exporting, compared to Pythonista. It does play well with Working Copy [1] though.

I work with a guy that does everything in cloud9. It seems to be working for him, but I’m not sure I see the appeal.
