I did try it while on Android. For reasons I don't remember, I had some issues when using it with Node.js. Maybe it's better now, I don't know. Either way, the overall experience was surprisingly good, but more when considering it a terminal, rather than IDE/code editor-like app.

Yeah, npm/node needed the unstable repos to be usable often. I basically abuse anysoft/hackers keyboard, termux, and vim on a daily basis.

Then again, I'm also the guy who writes a 40 line script on mobile in discord. So I'm not unaccustomed to a lack of autocomplete.

I'm hoping to get racer + rls + rustc nightly to work on aarch64-android-linux sometime soon, since I also abuse Maud or Markup since I prefer rust for long term development in this circumstance.
