I compile and run stuff with gcc in Termux. (Notably I only try to
compile command line / TUI programs.)

I use Termux:Widget to run scripts from $HOME/.shortcuts/ in a Termux
shell after tapping an icon on the launcher.

Python, Perl, GCC I have installed. There's few different Lua packages,
but I've never used them. Looks like most recent patch levels of 5.2,
5.3, and 5.4, plus luajit.

My Termux these is mostly ssh and scripts for image processing (rotate
and resize, stripping metadata, sending off to APIs with curl, that sort
of thing).
