It has an editor that allows for multiple 'scripts'.  When one is run, the environment drops into a repl.

(edit) returns to the multiple script view.

One of the examples is a webview that apparently supports HTML output. I don't know how extensively; I just now downloaded it at this party.  I'm oozing geekiness beyond acceptable levels.

I'm not clear if Apple actually ever has explicitly restricted applications bundled with a programming language interp, but they seems disallowing application to download *script* or other executable files from other places. I think we can provide a DrRacket like programming/educating/developing environment. MonoTouch is a good example to run another programming runtime over the native platform.
