A minimal Claude Code clone written in Rust
Claude's full agentic loop in your terminal, but reinventing Cursor's architecture for 200 lines isn't novel.

A Tcl/TK Clone of the Rust Clone of Microsoft Edit
by mkovach·Feb 26, 2026·4 points·0 comments
AI Analysis
●MidCozy
Tcl/Tk recreation of Edit—but Notepad++, VS Code, and Sublime already own this category.
Strengths
- •True line/column navigation and encoding picker (rare in minimal editors), solving real multi-encoding workflows.
- •Lightweight Tcl/Tk codebase (~1 file) auditable and portable across platforms with 8.6+ runtime.
Weaknesses
- •Direct competitor to well-funded tools (Sublime, VS Code, Notepad++) with no differentiation or novel feature.
- •No syntax highlighting, no plugin system, no modern quality-of-life features like auto-complete or file tree.
Category
Target Audience
Developers nostalgic for Microsoft Edit or needing a minimal text editor with Tcl/Tk runtime.
