That's a slightly tricky question to answer. In a nutshell, and assuming you don't want to start learning programming from scratch, what was the language you were coding in a decade ago? Start with that, and see if you can use that. May save you some time getting back into it.
If you're specifically looking for a compiled language to pick up, your obvious choices are possibly a C dialect of sorts (C, C++, C# etc) for which you get the excellent and free Visual Studio Community Edition on Windows. It also allows you to use Visual Basic I believe. On macOS, Xcode is your obvious choice. It too supports those C dialects, in addition to Objective-C and Swift. Both IDEs enable you to code, compile and run with a single button, both for writing command line style apps and GUI based apps (the latter are obviously a bit tougher because you need to learn the relevant libraries also). The code you write is portable and - in case of a command line app - relatively easily transferrable to another platform, including Linux.
At the same time, if those are not the languages you're into, perhaps an interpreted language may just do a good enough job for your needs. In which case, you don't need a compiler. Python, PHP, JavaScript, Ruby or even a BASH Script are good examples for interpreted languages. JavaScript in particular could be used to write your code so it can be run in people's web browsers, so they don't even have to install a special interpreter.
Worth noting is that any IDE based on Eclipse is not worth your efforts. There are many derivatives, all of which suck big time (NetBeans for example). Just thought I'd mention it. I personally use Xcode for all my C and Objective coding needs, or a text editor (like Dreamweaver) for PHP and JavaScript.
