as someone who finds the kind of programming possible on iOS extremely primitive, I still find your comment disingenuous. Kids even creating and uploading tiktoks, or messing around with their friends creations in roblox or even trying Swift Playgrounds is miles more useful than... learning pascal and assembly to make the most boring game ever.

kids have access to magic these days, while algorithmic abuse is rampant, thats not an iPad's core proposition.



I started off with an extremely primitive locked down programming environment. It's called lua and I used it to mod games.
