Whow, another well-known piece of software that was written by Fabrice Bellard. He's also the original author of qemu, tinyemu, tcc, ffmpeg and many more.

One of the most influential programmers of our time, if not the most.

His track record is exceptional, he must be a Godlike programmer!

I'm big fan of Monsieur Bellard, not because he made things complicated, but because he made things simple.

I read through the original source of qemu and the tiny C compiler and the simplicity and beauty of the code are outstanding.

The only other person I can think of with a similar rank is John Carmack.

I wish the code page https://bellard.org/lzexe/ had gone more into the inspiration of pklite. Used pkware's tools a lot growing up.

It's almost shocking. It's not only the productivity of making these tools, it's how well they fit the "developer zeitgeist" and how useful they proved to be.
