Dennis Ritchie died at home
this weekend after a long illness. I'm sure every "Unix" and "C" user
will miss him.He was the key developer of the Unix and original
developer of the C programming language.
Dennis MacAlistair Ritchie was an American computer
scientist notable for developing C and for having influence on other
programming languages, as well as operating systems such as Multics and
Unix. He received the Turing Award in 1983 and the National Medal of
Technology 1998 on April 21, 1999. Ritchie was the head of Lucent
Technologies System Software Research Department when he retired in
2007.
