Yeah, my recollections are from a talk I attended 17 years ago, so details may be a little off. It was the first time that I ever saw refactoring demoed. I have no idea what happened to it in the longer term, I know that Simonyi left Microsoft and started a company just to pursue intentional programming.

FWIW I do remember that the name comes from the ideas that the most important thing that a developer does is express intent. I've found that to be a powerful way of thinking over the years.
