Only days after Steve Jobs' death, we also lost the inventor of the C programming language and the Unix operating system, Dennis Ritchie. Not many has heard of him and certainly no biography has been released only 2 weeks after his death, but let us pay a tribute to the genius whose shoulders we all stood on. RIP Dennis Ritchie, the king of the invisible world.
"Ritchie was under the radar. His name was not a household name at all, but . . . if you had a microscope and could look in a computer, you'd see his work everywhere inside." - Paul E. Ceruzzi
