Farewell Dennis Ritchie

Dennis Ritchie and Ken Thompson

Dennis Ritchie, the father of "C" Language and key contributor to UNIX OS passed away after a long illness. It's been a sad month for IT world as Steve Jobs died a week ago.

Dennis was an American computer scientist that has a claim to fame for his C programming language along with Ken Thompson. Dennis and Ken were the pioneers in modern computing as they created the UNIX operating system.



Thank you sir Dennis, you made my life beautiful, exciting and challenging. Salute sir! Rest in peace.  If you have not created the C, we might not have the java, php, c#, etc..
