A .NET IDE for the iPad

A very interesting dev tool, in particular how it works with iOS restrictions on apps.
Apparently, the restriction is on executing from memory, that is code created by reflection (JIT)

So if this is acceptable by iOS, many other p-code languages could be used in the same way.
Or just use JavaScript for everything :)
