Are there any uses for an old iPad 4th generation for programming? (lemmy.ml)

Long story short, I don't have the resources to keep any PC on for a reasonable time, so I want to make use of all the hardware I can find, I have an old iPad 4th generation lying around, I know anything related to programming becomes annoying when using a touchscreen but it's what I got, I don't mind jailbreaking it, or even have a Linux distro that actually works on (I'm fine with compiling stuff myself too)

Looks like it's a generation too old for installing linux on it directly. Too bad.

I wonder if the iSH app allows installing a compiler.

Maybe add a bluetooth keyboard for programming?
