Apple debuts $159 AirPods wireless earbuds with W1 wireless chip, 5 hours of battery life

Apple brings coding to the iPad with Swift Playground
I guess I'm old and jaded. As a professional software developer I find it really hard to believe coding on the iPad will produce anything "real". Maybe it will give people a taste of breaking a problem down into steps, working with picky syntax, and introduce some other basic software production concepts. But compared to XCode, Eclipse, NetBeans, IntelliJ, and other "real" development environments, Swift Playground seems almost delusional.
