SubsetJuliaVM: A Julia Subset Execution Environment for iOS and Web

I bought the iPad app to support your interesting efforts. However, if you want to expand to more than just Julia enthusiasts and in fact broaden educational usage, not to mention make your application far more useful, here are some suggestions:

  1. Add in the app the list of currently supported syntax elements. Since you have to parse these, it should not be difficult at all for you to add this list. That way, we can avoid trial and error in figuring out what is and is not supported
  2. The above should be part of a documentation /help section. You should add links for where interested people can learn about Julia programming
  3. You seem to have added some packages like Statistics. You need to add the list of available packages so “using” works. I am curious how you added packages since these obviously were not rewritten in Rust

In sum, more documentation is needed for this to be minimally useful even in educational environments. In any case I hope you continue with this project
