VSClone
A "VSCode clone" starter project using Go.
VSClone is a re-creation of the VSCode desktop application, but using Go instead of Node.js/Electron. It's based on VSCode Web run in a webview window, so it is still the VSCode UI, but wrapped in a custom Go host program. It uses a VSCode extension that bridges VSCode in the browser with native Go to provide access to the filesystem and shell.
You can customize the editor by making a VSCode extension. VSClone can only run extensions that run in the browser at the moment (they cannot use Node.js).
Forking VSClone is a much simpler, hackable way to clone VSCode than forking the VSCode project.
Status
The current focus is on making VSClone a usable alternative to stock VSCode. Please download and try using it, and file issues for anything that gets in the way.
Install
Download the latest release for your platform. Alternatively you can use Homebrew on Mac:
brew tap progrium/homebrew-taps
brew install vsclone
Using VSClone
VSClone currently ships as a CLI, so you have to start it from the shell. It will open the current directory if no directory argument is given.
