Dennis Ritchie (Creator of “C”, Man Who Worked on Unix) Passes Away

Dennis Ritchie (Creator of “C”, Man Who Worked on Unix) Passes Away

It has been reported that Dennis Ritchie, the creator of the “C” programming language and one of the men largely responsible for Unix, has passed away. While Dennis Ritchie probably doesn't have the name power of Steve Jobs, his contributions to the computing world are just as important. For starters, C, and its object-oriented offspring language C++, are widely used in application and even operating system development. C made it possible to do things a lot of people didn't imagine could be done in the world of computing.

And Unix? Well, it's only the basis for everything Linux, including Android.
