goodbye, world - Dennis Ritchie

-----------------------------------

Another one of my heroes, down.

I urge all the august members of compsci.ca to take a few minutes and read up on http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dennis_Ritchie.  We all owe him and his team a lot more than we may ever realize.

"C is quirky, flawed and an enormous success"
"UNIX is very simple, it just needs a genius to understand its simplicity"

I'd actually call C my favourite programming language, believe it or not.  I like its utter elegance.

Every once in a while C allows me to perform magic. It's fantastic.
