R.I.P Dennis Ritchie
Quote:
Computer scientist Dennis Ritchie is reported to have died at his home this past weekend, after a long battle against an unspecified illness. No further details are available at the time of this blog post.
He was the designer and original developer of the C programming language, and a central figure in the development of Unix. He spent much of his career at Bell Labs. He was awarded the Turing Award in 1983, and the National Medal of Technology in 1999.
"Ritchie's influence rivals Jobs's; it's just less visible," James Grimmelman observed on Twitter. "His pointer has been cast to void *; his process has terminated with exit code 0."
The news of Ritchie's death was first made public by way of Rob Pike's Google+.

Re: R.I.P Dennis Ritchie
Dennis Ritchie's influence may not be visible, but is far more a greater influence than most of the digital wizards. A computer scientist in a true sense.

Re: R.I.P Dennis Ritchie
I can't say much about Dennis. All I can say, is he was a person who have a profound impact on my life.
My introduction to the world of programming was C. I always used to be fascinated by the way we could make a computer work just like we desire, all with the help of a few lines of statements. The simplicity of C language combined with the mechanisms it provides to make codes with any degree of complexity is just unbeatable.
Even today, my favorite language is C, and nothing can ever take its place.
Rest in peace Mr. Ritchie. You have made lives of many C fans, Rich.
