slidetocode.com offers - Raskell : basically a port of Hugs to the iPad (Haskell) - Lisping : originally a vi-ish editor for Scheme and Clojure but now includes TinyScheme interpreter, and the author is thinking of adding a Clojure (subset) interpreter. Dmitry Kovba http://www.dmitry-kovba.com offers an amazing bunch of "XYZZY Programming Language" apps which actually do compilation and running remotely, which neatly sidesteps any problems with adding new code to an iOS app. Pharo Smalltalk runs on the iPad. See http://www.pharo-project.org/about/screenshots As I understand it, the bytecode system is OK, but the JIT would not be allowed even if it did work for ARM. Quicksilver Smalltalk sits on top of Javascript so it can run in Safari, for example. There is also something called U8 (u8.smalltalking.net) which I've had little luck learning about. Pythonista http://omz-software.com/pythonista/ provides a Python IDE on iOS. It's in the App Store. So there is ample precedent for interpreted/emulated languages on iOS devices. SWI Prolog should fit right in.
