I use Notepad++ to write and edit everything. But it doesn't have a compiler.
One I'm surprised hasn't been mentioned is very light weight and can be used for any language, neovim.
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
I recommend sublime (not free) for quick scripts and Vscodium for bigger projects
Cmd
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.
