There is Codea ( <a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;codea.io&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;codea.io&#x2F;</a> ) already which lets you make simple games and learn programming and I dont see tons of people using it. It&#x27;s also less scary than Xcode.<p>I tried to &quot;switch&quot; to an iPad and the lack of a filesystem is its Achilles heel. You need to think of files if you are a developer or if you want to become one. iPad is anti-files so if you grow up using one you get brain damaged.<p>And no emacs so...useless.
