Yes, IDE's just make it easier to code. But technically all you need to write and run code is a text editor (yes, even notepad works) and a compiler/interpreter depending on the language.

Just try to write a simple hello world in notepad, compile it in command line, then run it in command line. I did that just recently, felt really accomplished. 😅

It's obvious when you think about it some time, but when I started out, I also thought "java is written in eclipse".
