Eli5: If a compiler is a program that converts your code into binary form for the computer, unless my understanding is incorrect and it isn’t just a program, wouldn’t the compiler also need a compiler to run it since how do you run a program without a compiler?

A computer “understands” instructions in a particular language, called machine code. Instead of using a compiler to translate your code from one programming language into machine code, you’d write the machine code directly into memory.
