His Treesheets "hierarchical spreadsheet" is interesting, may give that a try. Seems a bit like emacs org mode. http://strlen.com/treesheets/

Wow, that's a name I haven't heard in 30-odd years, I loved programming in AmigaE in the 90's!

In that case I think you're going to enjoy checking out his website! He's done quite a few cool things in the meantime

I guess he's a bit like the programmer equivalent of the underground musician that's not that well known by the mainstream but who inspired a lot of other musicians. For example, he wrote the language that inspired Brainfuck[0].

Not just Brainfuck, basically the entire field of esoteric programming languages.
