I'm not sure about that. Instances of code that I know impressed lot of developers: several sections of the original Doom code, at least one entry in Gamasutra's old article "Dirty Coding Tricks", their first time groking functional programming (a functional declaration of quicksort, for instance). Then again, I'm not really impressed by "X in Javascript" anymore, so I'm definitely biased.
