As far as I know, Sven Barth is communicating with him. 
He confirmed this not so long ago.

Of course, I didn't install a keylogger on his computer to verify that this
is actually so.

But I'm pretty sure that the availability of anonymous functions in pas2js will
motivate him more to actually finish the work than money would.
