You also need a compiler or interpreter because wtf man you gotta run some stuff during development

If you write C code in a text file and rename the file extension to .exe and try to run it the CPU will do something.

What, you dont program in binary? What a noob.

No I program with a magnetised needle and a steady hand.

compiler or interpreter

Quite. You don't need an IDE to have a compiler lol
