  Yes. His work is really inspiring, eg. the text editor less than 1000 lines, tiny language in less than 1000 lines etc. When I read this on HN, I converted his text editor to my hobby programming language [1] (330 lines), and then wrote a chess engine with terminal UI [2] (400 lines), Tetris clone [3] in 140 lines. I also have a QR code generator and parser [4] (700 lines, still in Java only), a PDF generator (200 lines), and now also a tiny programming language [5].
