Pythonista has you covered for Python, although you are limited to its selection of third party modules and source only modules. It has great integration with iOS features and even has a simple but useful GUI designer built in.

It’s a solution to programming for the iPad though, not on it but for another platform, unless it’s mix of modules and capabilities happen to match your off-device needs.

I'm a big user of Pythonista on an iPad. I also use Continuous[0] for editing C# files, and occasionally play around with Replete[1] (a ClojureScript REPL for iOS).

Obviously they aren't JetBrains/Visual Studio class, but for the specific things they do while I'm on the go they're fantastic. This is increasingly the way I'm doing things with code and text. When I want to open Excel, however- that's when things start falling down for me.
