Write command line apps in C. The only platform that can't run them is iOS.

iOS can run Objective-C which is a superset of C, you can run the code natively and use Objective-C to display it.

iOS lacks fork and kills your app if it doesn't yeild for some number of milliseconds. It also lacks a shell and a video terminal emulator which are kind of nice to have for these sorts of apps.
