RIP Dennis Ritchie

Dennis Ritchie, creatorul limbajului C si co-creator al sistemului de operare UNIX s-a stins weekendul asta la varsta de 70 de ani.

Fara Dennis probabil n-am fi avut azi nici un Linux, Mandriva, GNU, FSF s.a.m.d.

Multumim.

Si probabil ca n-ar fi fost nici vreun Apple, Steve jobs s.a.m.d fara Ritchie, asa ca sa faca o cruce si uzerii de mac.

Unix is user-friendly. It’s just very selective about who its friends are

Poate mai important e UNIX decat C, fara el nu am fi avut "pipe" si "io redirect" si multe altele (vezi cei 1500 de pagini de explicatii in "The Art of Unix Programming"). Cred ca cea mai importanta inventie vreodata la nivel de programare este comunicare intre aplicatii in UNIX. Aceasta filosofie / concept a deschis drumul spre Linux, OpenSource si aplicatii intr-adevar stabile si de succes.

Asa ca...
