my tribute to Dennis Ritchie

News: Dennis Ritchie, father of C programming language and Unix, dies at 70 !!

;( :'(

Dennis MacAlistair Ritchie. The man who created C with Kevin Thompson. Who helped develop UNIX. One of the greatest computer engineers ever.

here i text some words to remind our memories for this great technologist...

We need to remember that C and UNIX spawned a revolution in the computer industry. Every subsequent software owes something to these two...

his words about them:


C++ and Java, say, are presumably growing faster than plain C, but I bet C will still be around.
- Dennis Ritchie

UNIX is basically a simple operating system, but you have to be a genius to understand the simplicity.
Dennis Ritchie


For those of us running Mac OS X, iOS, Android and many other non-Windows OS, we have him to thank. Many of those running Windows do too, as many of the applications you're using were written in C..
