Lost in the media surrouding the passing of Steve Jobs was the news that Dennis Ritchie, the creator of the C programming language and one of the creators of the original Unix at AT&T's Bell Lab passed away at the age of 70.

Apple, Microsoft, Linux, Google, Facebook, and probably even Sound Forums.net and ProSound Web would be nothing without the efforrs of this man and his collegues.
 
Re: another great one passes away

Yeah, this has been going in the news for a number of days already. And though he is not that known to the people of younger generations, I know that there are still groups who became legions of fans because of C. I did not dwell much with C owing to the simple yet complex programming practices it employs, as IDEs are just too comfortable to miss.
