McWig: A Vim-like Text Editor in Go – A Speedy Experiment

McWig is a modal, Vim-like text editor written in Go, currently used by its creator as a daily driver. It only supports .go files and is in early development, so use with caution as it may damage files. Features include LSP autocomplete, goto definition, hover info, Tree-sitter support, and color themes (borrowed from Helix). However, it's also buggy. The project was a quick experiment to explore the text editor space, and the author plans to develop it into a stable, full-featured editor.
