Dannis Ritchie, the creator of the C programming language and co-developer of the Unix operating system passed away on October 8 at the age of 70, leaving a legacy that casts a very long shadow.

Forget about C, maybe it's the E that makes him skimread and miss important details


(I am still programming in LOGO with a floor turtle - who remembers those ?)

I see Logo is considered to be a distant ancestor of Jade and Python, so that can't be such a bad thing.

I remember how this was skimmed over since Steve Jobs passed away at the same time just because his creation wasn't all shiny and the average Joe doesn't understand its importance.

For the last 5 years, there's been just one C guy left.
