Dennis Ritchie 1941-2011

Otišao tvorac programskog jezika C

(izvor slike)

Još jedna tužna vijest za IT svijet i šire. U sedamdesetoj godini je umro Dennis MacAlistair Ritchie koji je (zajedno s Kenom Thompsonom) stvorio programski jezik C.

Osim C-a imao je ogroman utjecaj, ne samo u stvaranju Multicsa i Unixa, nego i na druge programske jezike i operacijske sustave kao takve te je bio dobitnik mnogih nagrada i priznanja.

"C is quirky, flawed, and an enormous success." (DMR)

Father Of C And UNIX, Dennis Ritchie, Passes Away At Age 70

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

Skromno prošla vijest na netu o njegovoj smrti, glavno da je Jobs u svakoj pašteti.

ode nam i John McCarthy
