Clanker copied into the project one non-essential Go library. But trick was to leave only the parts used by the project.
What was left was 7% of the original code, and more than 50% of that was tests.
clanker made by opus 5.5
at this point you can think of anything and opus will just build it
anthropic really went all in with this model
just look at details, it’s too good and only took about 2 hours
clanker started with a very good abstraction: have an idea, tag a bot, deploy a token. making the hard thing feel simple was the product.
the simplicity worked so well that people started confusing the interface with the infrastructure underneath it. the bot is still here. the simple launch is still here. but clanker is also the contracts, the sdk, the interfaces other people build, the markets a token enters, the fees it routes, and the decisions a project makes after the first block.
"token launcher" is accurate but incomplete.
