README

Gopher Code

Gopher Code, rewritten from scratch in Go. Zero Node.js. Zero Electron. One binary.

Gopher Code demo

513K lines of TypeScript → clean, idiomatic Go.
Starts in 12ms. No runtime dependencies. Cross-compiles everywhere Go does.

[!IMPORTANT] **This is an active ground-up rewrite.** Gopher Code is not a wrapper, binding, or transpilation. Every subsystem of Claude Code v2.1.88 has been analyzed and rebuilt natively in Go using modern 2026 packages. See [Porting Status](#porting-status) for current progress.

Why This Exists

An incredible tool trapped inside a 500K-line TypeScript monolith that ships with Node.js, a bundled Ink/React renderer, native addons for every platform, and a `node_modules` tree deeper than the Mariana Trench.

Gopher Code asks: **what if it was just a binary?**
