I played with termux a bunch. I found it to be lacking when not rooted though. If i remember right it also lacks a lot of access to most of the android api, making any kind of serious development not really practical.

The one i really miss though is SL4A.

It's a shame it ended up being killed off. I wrote a bunch of lua scripts with it. Including a small app to fetch bus schedules from a current stop. I could add scripts to my launcher and run them the same as a native app.
