Touch-first programming for adults?
Post Body

I'm looking for a programming language optimized for a touch-based user interface on a tiny phone screen. To me that means it probably has to be some kind of visual drag-and-drop, or at least some form of syntactically-aware text that doesn't let me constantly typo variable names on my tiny keyboard and struggle to place the cursor correctly with my massive sausage fingers. Or maybe it just has to have a really good code-oriented autocorrect and spell check.

Are there any tools out there for developing serious but small pieces of code through such an interface? Use cases would include things like scripting out an alarm that rings on alternate Thursdays, or making a little GUI to send UDP packets when you press buttons. Problems you have to solve where it's not really worth breaking out a PC and a massive cross-compiling SDK, but where you also don't want to try Pythoning on a tiny keyboard.
