I never thought I would say it, but: I love coding on my iPad!

Pythonista has spoiled me, because now I wish every language I write in had such a lovely and usable iOS implementation. When I need to sketch out an idea or write up a proof of concept for an algorithm, Ive come to love being able to put down the laptop and go sit on a couch or outside at the park and hack away on my iPad mini. The minis form factor in particular is perfect for this, and Pythonistas keyboard extension and auto-completion make typing almost as fast as on a real keyboard. And to the extent that typing is slower, the slightly reduced pace, plus the more monotasking-friendly UI of the iPad makes the practice almost meditative.

I have exactly one complaint: why oh why is the keyboard extension missing a shortcut for %, of all things?
