Best iPad Code/Text Editor

Does anyone have any recommendations for their favorite code/text editor for iOS? I've been using Textastic on my iPad which is great, but am curious to see if there's anything else/better. Is there anything closer to an IDE that might let me run/compile some basic code (C, for example)? Thanks!

Thanks so much, James! Super helpful answer...

Maybe a web based IDE? It supports C/C++ but I dont know if you can compile, give it a try its free.
