Whats the best Windows programming IDE/editor that can run all the different languages, preferably lighterweight if posible? (sopuli.xyz)

There is a delightful Mac app IDE/editor called CodeRunner and I'd love to have something like thaton Windows

I use Notepad++ to write and edit everything. But it doesn't have a compiler.

I like sublime

Does it run code as well? I thought it was more a text editor?

Works for Python and PowerShell at the very least, I assume it works for others too.

Its a text editor but one of the tabs at the top lets you switch languages so you get syntax hilighting while you code. Its not a compiler or program testing tool at all.

I thought ya, CodeRunner did all that but also compiled or executed whatever respective code in its language

One I'm surprised hasn't been mentioned is very light weight and can be used for any language, neovim.

I recommend sublime (not free) for quick scripts and Vscodium for bigger projects

I think the closest you will get is VSCode with the Code Runner extension. Not as lightweight, but probably as light as you will get in Windows.
