Description
GitHub issue #41981 filed by Andrey Kolkov proposing a full Go rewrite of Claude Code with a production-ready library stack. Argument: in Go, streaming/watchdog/fallback is approximately 30 lines using context.WithTimeout vs. thousands of lines in TypeScript with 5 levels of AbortController. Anthropic has not responded. Given Cherny's 'go faster, more automation' stance, the likelihood of a rewrite is low.
Key claims
- Equivalent streaming logic in Go would be ~30 lines
