You can compile C, C++, and Java from the command line. for C os X uses gcc (I have not used it much so I will not be much help). For java OS X uses sun's compiler.

The only drawback is that you then have to use the comand line to lauch the program. Which has its advantages and disadvantages.

gcc is not included in os x without developer tools. so is there a way to get it?

I stand corrected. java comes pre installed, but gcc (known as cc on OSX) is installed with developer tools. I looked to try and find it seperate, but as far as I can tell you have to install developer tools. If you are worried about hard drive space it is possible to install just the parts of the developer tools. There are several hints on the main macosxhints page.
