Yes, the open-source release he did is what introduced me to Miranda. I rewrote a lot of my previous Haskell solutions to Advent of Code puzzles with it, and liked it so much I decided to try to improve on it ;-)

That's what led to Admiran. I originally wrote Admiran in Miranda, then bootstrapped from that to self-hosting when it was stable enough to do so. The original Miranda combinator compiler / interpreter took 20 minutes to compile all of Admiran, while the self-hosted version now takes 20 seconds.

One of the grad students of David Turner has taken up maintenance on the original Miranda source; the repository is now at https://codeberg.org/DATurner/miranda
