I love termux. I can run my normal terminal environment - tmux, fish, just, git, zoxide, yazi etc. and build rust apps. With decent auto-complete/fuzzy-search, it's very ergonomic for only needing a couple of key presses to get things done. I'm impressed that TUI apps like yazi/nnn respond to touch. It's a very viable app platform for those inclined.

Out of curiosity, is there an equivalent on ios with that level of support?

>>Fluore+ib
In iOS we can only use something like ish.app which emulates x86 and runs full Linux distro instead, with predictably much lower performance than Termux (due to JIT being banned in iOS apps), but without any restrictions Android has on the executables

>>nasret+Ac
Why does Apple ban JIT? It clearly doesn't ban emulation inherently, so why is emulation OK but not JIT?

>>MarsIr+G11
I believe it's a ban on executing any runtime-generated or downloaded machine code, not just JIT in particular.

>>tadfis+3c3
Then how is iSH allowed on the app store?

>>MarsIr+vu4
Elsewhere in this thread, someone mentioned that ISH is a full PC emulator running Alpine. You wouldn't necessarily need JIT or native execution for a software VM.
