If you don't have the toolchain set up, it's not like it's different for any other language.


- echo "hello world" > /tmp/index.html

- browse to file:///tmp/index.html


echo - command not found (maybe you're on Windows)

browse - no browser installed

edit - no editor found

See, I can do the same thing. In any case you need a toolchain installed to actually program in the language you want to program, even if that toolchain is minimal. Complaining about a toolchain not being installed for the thing you want to do is not very useful.


There is always a text editor and browser available on any OS, yes even on Windows.

Yes, as I said.
