I'm not an iPad user, but hasn't Apple had a long-running policy of forbidding any app which includes an interpreter?
I've seen this being mentioned for years by various programming communities (e.g. Squeak Smalltalk), where the only work around is to buy a Mac, buy OSX, buy the Apple developer tools ("Xcode"?) and pay a $99 subscription fee in order to transfer your own app to your own iPad.
