Dennis Ritchie

This blog is starting to look like a tech obituary forum.

Dennis Ritchie died. That's THE Dennis Ritchie. The "R" in "K&R" for all you people who have done any real programming in life. Ritchie created the C programming language. And for those of you who haven't programmed but have used ANY piece of technology created in the last 20 years you used something that was created with C or a C derivative (don't forget Verilog).

A commenter to the story on Slashdot left a fitting tribute:

goodbye world
