Claw-code (reached 100k stars on github and I have made an article about them[0]) are currently re-writing claude-code in rust (they have already ported it to python)

Its worth following: https://github.com/instructkr/claw-code

This is built by studying the leaked source. "Clean-room rewrite" doesn't mean much when you've read the original first — that's not clean-room, that's copying with extra steps. This is theft, plain and simple.

The stars on the original claw-code repo were earned through the leak, not the work. Riding that wave with another clone doesn't make it original engineering.

Also worth noting: this wasn't submitted as Show HN — it's being promoted through comment threads instead. Make of that what you will.

Real open-source respects both the letter and the spirit of IP law.
