My new Lenovo M8 Android 14 tablet seems to run Termux just fine, so I'd like to spend some idle time learning a programming language - ideally one that doesn't need gigabytes of libraries to work. IDE of choice will be vi. Not trying to run the Evil Empire - just do some basic text handling/parsing and file I/O. I'm from a Perl background :) TIA
You can do almost everything. You can even use apt-get.<p>However, beware!<p>If you uninstall or upgrade Termux, <i>all your files will be wiped</i> without warning.<p>I lost my SimH based VAX 11/780 running VMS 7.2 that way. 8(<p>It was so cool having a VAX in my pocket.
>IDE of choice will be vi<p>Termux repos has a vscode-server package, that starts up a vscode server, which you can access through the web browser. Much better way to code IMO.
