Dennis Ritchie, co-creator of C and heavily involved in the creation
of UNIX, has died. He was 70, and he was one of my heroes.
RIP, Dennis Ritchie.
I am very sorry to hear that.
I am sure he won't get the media hype that followed the passing of Steve
Jobs last week, but I am also sure that dmr had a much greater influence
on the sort of computing that I am interested in than Steve Jobs did.
