The author reached out to Hiroshi Oota on github, who said they created it to use emacs on Windows. Not sure why it's not in the article, but figure there might be a reason so won't link it.
yes I was hoping to do an update after I had help finding the author, and to see if there was any potential of an update. It's late breaking & live. And it seems all the engagement is here not on the blog so I didn't see this as I was sleeping.
