On Oct 5th, when the world was paying tribute to the founder of Apple Inc. with those messages pouring on Facebook and Twitter, “RIP Steve Jobs”, “A Great Entrepreneur” etc., an unsung legend left this world silently on Oct 8th, leaving behind his foot prints which are present in every embedded device no matter it’s a to be launched Apple IPhone 4 or Samsung’s latest Tab 10.1. The invention of this legend has touched the life of more people than the “Entrepreneurship” of Apple Inc’s founder. But the irony is that his death hadn’t made big news anywhere. Well it’s not difficult to understand now “Money Matter’s”.
It’s sad to say that “Dennis Ritchie” is no more. May his soul rest in peace.
Really its very sad that the news of the death of Dennis Ritchie, the legend who invented "C" was not paid much heed and hype. Dennis Ritchie definitely deserves a better, much better tribute than Steve Jobs....!!
ReplyDeleteSteve Jobs indeed changed the computing world.. But Dennis Ritchie is the person who (in a way) created this computing world..!!
