Hi Gregory, I use LispCube (XLISP Scheme) and Gambit on iOS to design the code and test it, then email it to myself and compile in DrRacket with very few changes necessary. I'd love a DrRacket on iOS, or even a simple editor with the Racket compiler embedded. Dexter On Friday, November 15,

Has this been looked into again? Especially now that we have Swift playgrounds and the iPad Pro. The iPad Pro would be my pc if only it had a racket/scheme programming environment. I’ve found a few gambit is no longer kept up to date meaning it’s not optimized for the Pro and iOS 11. I firmly

Some reasons/scenarios I see for doing DrRacket in HTML5 on tablets are: * Stress-test the Racket HTML5 system: if DrRacket can run, most other stuff should. * Lots of people have tablets, and then they could use DrRacket on them. * When Racketeers are waiting for the bus or whatever, instead

Hi Neil, I can't get past the idea that tablets are a terrible environment to do development. - screen to small & made smaller by on-screen keyboard - limited resources(ram/flash/mhz/cores) compared to a cheap laptop As for developing for tablets Whalesong is impressive. 'raphael-demo.html [src]

Rather than iOS-specific and Android-specific apps (either JVM-ish or native code), I'd like to suggest focusing instead on targeting *HTML5 offline apps*. I'm working successfully on HTML5 offline apps for technical software right now, and I think HTML5 is a good way to go to get device inde

Hi, I don't know how hard this would be to do, but there are some other interesting things out there. Some of the nice things in Dr Racket rely on the mouse. I'm not sure how you would do 'Check Syntax' with a touch interface. Anyway - this is my list of bookmarks: Lisping 'Edit LISP's parse

I'm not aware of anyone having done any work getting Racket to run on iOS. If you are really interested in the general idea, though, there are some other Lisps/Schemes that folks have gotten to run on that platform. Notably, I came across an article about developing a game for iOS using Gambit Sc
