You can't make a BASIC interpreter App and get it listed on the Apple store, for folks to download.

Shhhh! Don't tell these guys because they don't know that-- they went ahead and wrote a BASIC interpreter for iPad in 2010 and it's now up to version 3.5.

There are also Ruby and Python interpreters available too and Pythonista is also a fully featured development environment.

Sounds like someone needs to take a look at Pythonista - a full featured development environment, including code editor with syntax highlighting and code completion, interactive prompt, support for graphics and a touch interface, with full featured libraries including math and text processing; runs on iOS (iPhone and iPad) you can even export the app you've developed and have running on your iPad to Xcode so that you can build it for submission to Apple's App Store.

It's a staple on my iPad and has been for a year or so.

Sounds like a bit more useful than a graphing calculator.

Kind of like the current AutoTrain from Amtrak?
