The go command prompt program (“go help”) will run the compiler, a separate program, when certain commands are used (like “go build”). The compile process creates a file that is the program you wrote if no errors are found, and you can then run this program file to do the work you coded.
An IDE will do this with the same go programs (the toolchain you are installing) but may make organizing and working on your project and calling the compiler commands more ordered. The IDE may help you download and install the Go toolchain. I haven't used Visual Studio Code but we did use Visual Studio at university. I like using the windows of the OS to have multiple editor windows and command prompt windows open; alt-tab is a useful Windows keyboard shortcut for managing this. Virtual desktops are an additional way to organize the workspace.
