The essence of an IDE is a compiler. Coder can write code directly using Notepad, or by command line. By using command line directly in Claude Code, many Cursor users have been eliminated. IDE interaction is not the core; the essence is the backend compiler. The compiler itself is also a piece of code, involving syntax trees, syntax analysis, and so on. This environment can be internalized and learned by large models. In the future, there will be no need for compilers; large models can directly incorporate code, so IDEs like Cursor will no longer be necessary. Similarly, the operating system is also a piece of code. For example, a virtual machine is essentially an operating system—still a piece of code. Once learned by a model, the model can replay everything on its own, eliminating the need for an external environment.
