Y’all have any recommendations for running/studying Racket code on mobile devices (e.g., Android/iOS/web)?

I found a Scheme interpreter, which definitely helps, but it’s not as advanced as Racket itself, especially with macros.

There is some web stuff, and could use remoting into bigger computer, but have had some issues with key input (e.g., Command key), so it’s clunky.

@me1 On Android, Hacker’s Keyboard is helpful. ~There are~ I’ve seen some text editors in the app store that support scheme syntax.

Until Java supports tail call optimization, scheme on JVM doesn’t make much sense to me.

I used Scheme Droid to teach my 10 year old s-expressions and simple recursive functions, fwiw.

For remoting, I use ConnectBot and text-mode Emacs or Vim, my usual Racket dev tools (sans graphics).

Total Commander + a plug-in gives you sshfs access.

All these apps are ad-free with no in-app purchases. You might find more in the F-Droid app store - haven’t checked in a while.

@alama which scheme interpreter are you using?
