I'd say the question is "Can I code iPad apps on an iPad?" I would not really expect iPadOS to become a regular developer enviroment for, like Java, Python or C#. I understand Swift Playgrounds can create some types of apps, but are iPadOS apps written on iPads?

Until I can plug a screen and a keyboard to my iPad and write something as sophisticated as Cultured Code's Things on it, there is still ways to go.
