Dennis Ritchie (1941—2011)
It’s been a bad year for computing, this one, as we’ve now lost the father of the C Programming Language.
It’s a sad thing to note that whilst Ritchie had as much, if not more, influence on the Computing Industry as Steve Jobs, he’ll only be remembered by a small number of people worldwide: Those of us who program for a living.
Requiescat in Pace, Dennis. You’ll be missed.
