The article quotes a code sample from FitNesse – the author has apparently maintained that codebase since then. You can check out the code for the current version at https://github.com/unclebob/fitnesse, or browse the code in a Monaco editor using https://github1s.com/unclebob/fitnesse/blob/HEAD/src/. (I have no idea if that code is “well-regarded”, but as you wrote, you can read it for yourself.)
I know that I'm late to this party, but what would Clean Coders think about algorithm heavy weight code like "TimSort.java"[1]? (This is the Java port of the famous Python stable sort.) Since Java doesn't have mutable references (pointers) or allow multiple return values, it gets very tricky to manage all the local variables across different functional scopes. I guess you could put all your locals into a struct/POJO, and then pass it around to endless tiny functions. (Honestly, the Java regex library basically does this... sucessfully.) Somehow, I feel it would be objectively worse if this algo code were split into endless 1/5/10 line functions! (Yes yes, that is an _opinion_... not a fact!)
Come to think of it, is the original C code for Python's timsort equally non-Clean Code-ish?[2] Probably not!
