I’m hooked on Moshi and working from an iPad. I have the Astropad Workbench for when I need to interact directly with my Mac, and Moshi for all of my coding sessions. I’ve gone from not being able to imagine doing development from an iPad to being able to full on iOS/Android/web/server development.

This. I get that it’s not the swift compiler that is the issue. But the overall developer experience can hit such a hard strange cliff so quickly. It not easy to teach how to adequately debug these issues because the error provided is so disconnected from the source of the error.

Building a proof of concept web app in swift on the server with htmx has been some pure joy programming. I could maybe build it faster with React, but being able to have essentially no state on the client (besides the url params and search) makes things so much simpler to understand and follow.
