A comment on Using Unix as an IDE (2012).

But the idea of an OS in and of itself is the ultimate IDE, is it not? I can't say I like the idea of writing software without any system calls at my disposal.

That is the case of C, because UNIX is the runtime, hence what was left out of ISO ended up on POSIX.

Any programming language with a richer runtime can be OS agnostic to a certain point. The runtime is the OS.
