Zug is a general-purpose programming language designed specifically to write on touch-screen devices.
It requires no special characters except . and ,. It's heavily under
development, but here's an example of the kind of thing you should be able
to write:
import http
let resp .http.get ,google.com,.
assert .lt resp.code 300.
print resp.json
The main point here is that you never have to leave a standard qwerty keyboard to write this on your phone. It's way more fun to write when you're away from your computer than any other language.
