There are many forks of this, which I think is a testament to how simple, clean, and easy to modify this code was.
The initial blog-post which announced the editor is worth a read, as is the discussion here:

My own version adds Lua support, multiple buffers, and similar features. It is by no means the best of the editors but I had fun playing with it - to the extent I was almost tempted to write an editor. (But then I realized I already have vim for writing email, and emacs for everything else. The world really doesn't need another editor!)
