Actually you can code in the browser. You can write JS snippets in the URL, in the URL field, in the console... No need for an IDe, an interpreter or a compiler or to install anything else.

A browser is all you need to start coding and everyone has one installed on their system.

Also on coding is too hard for newbies: JS, Python, PHP are NOT hard. I couln't have became a developper 25 years ago when programming was really hard but nowadays building usefull applications with JS and/or Python the myriad of libaries available and the ridiculous hardware ressources at the disposal of anyone, it's not hard anymore.
