I think he's a good contrast to the "great computer scientist, but not a JS person" in the linked article. He initially built Universal Paperclips to learn JavaScript. It's a cool thing, a lot of people played it, and it doesn't rely on an incomprehensible ecosystem. It's two HTML files, four scripts, two CSS files, and an image. You don't _need_ all the stuff people complain about to do cool things with JavaScript. Especially if you're just getting started with the language.
