I would still like to see RFS 5 "Development on Handhelds" (https://web.archive.org/web/20140428231118/http://ycombinato...) fulfilled. I asked sama about it in 2015: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10361215. The state of the art has advanced since. Termux (https://termux.dev/en/) on Android is a viable development environment. With a Debian PRoot (https://wiki.termux.com/wiki/PRoot), it feels a lot like "normal Linux". What I want to see, though, is something that takes advantage of graphics and touch input. Structural touch-based editing of s-expressions in particular seems like it could be practical and fun. Think Snap! (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snap!_(programming_language)) but built for multitouch devices.

I have ideas that I would love to explore given funding.
