Huh does that actually work? Don't have a system handy to try it out.

showing the output in termux

storage/documents/programs ro
> echo puts "hello world" > main.rb

storage/documents/programs ro via rb
> ls
c  js  main.rb  python

storage/documents/programs ro via rb

puts hello world

Amateur! I write my code down on a piece of paper, scan it in, send it to my computer through email, then make a custom-built AI read the paper and print it in the terminal!
