If I remember correctly: iOS is preventing apps from running any generated code that's not signed ahead of time (it's allowed for browsers specifically for JIT but not for IDEs, I believe); spawning processes and loading new dylibs is also forbidden so it's still very inconvenient.

Also I don't want to depend on anyone's cloud service to get my work on and off an iPad.

Not even Apple's. I want to be able to get my stuff to and from the iPad directly through my LAN as you can do with desktop computers.

In this context, that's only useful if you do web development?

Besides, tbh anything that only works in the EU is useless for a dev. I like to use solutions that I can pass around to my partners, no matter where in the world they're located.
