So now that we are on the subject of IDE's for ipads. What are some other nice apps to edit other languages on the go?

Hi there, I'm the developer of this app so just thought I'd reply to some of the cons you made. You don't need an internet connection all the time, just simply for building or running the application as Dringend needs to connect to the build server. Support for git is coming up in version 1.2 and is going to be in the hands of beta testers very soon. Features such as support for asset catalogs and XIBs/Storyboards ar…

Glad to hear git support is on the way. This roadmap would a good addition to your website.

Thanks. Took your advice and added a small section to the homepage detailing features that are planned for the future.

There is Raskell which lets you write and run Haskell on an iPad, using a modified version of the educational Hugs compiler (so it's more for recreative programming than serious projects): http://slidetocode.com/raskell/

I'd like to point out that the developer of this application is 17 years old. He's a student at the school I work at and a fantastic programmer. I don't know whether he'd be annoyed at me for mentioning this or not, but given some of the negativity in the comments, I think it's worth noting. I can't imagine the type of applications he'll be developing in a few years time.

Holy crap. I know plenty of 20-somethings who haven't accomplished anything close to this.

I know plenty of 30-40 somethings that call themselves programmers that wouldn't know how to even prototype this.

I wonder if they'll have the Clang static analyzer running in the iPad or they'll parse the syntax through a server. In the former case would be really awesome, and possibly doable given the static analyzer is open source. Wonder how much work is required to parse XIB and storyboards... I'd love to use this on an airplane.

At the moment the app doesn't employ the use of the Clang static analyzer but I am looking into using libClang both for live issues as you code and also for auto complete. Also, XIB/Storyboard support is one that will be worked on just as soon as git support is out of the door and in the hands of the users. (I'm the dev by the way)

You could maybe look into the jailbreak community. It is possible to compile (etc) on the device itself and they previously had an IDE in the works which was never finished. I am sure they'd love to have a look at this.
