I assume that if you're trying to do this, you've got a keyboard attached to your iPad - I think I'd rather stick forks in my eyes than try to code with an on-screen keyboard. So at that point, why not just use a laptop?

I build Swift playgrounds on my iPad. With great code completion using an on screen keyboard is fine for small prototypes.

I wish I could simply say a new variable or function and have it inserted.

The Apple folio keyboard is actually really good. Even compared to my 12" Macbook the 11" iPad Pro is still more portable, plus I use the Apple Pencil a lot.
