Another giant leaves us. Sadly ordinary people will not recognize his genius, he was not hyped. R.I.P.

Ditto. This was my first thought after reading this sad news.

More impact, less hype.
The people which are not hyped, are often more genius.

RIP Dennis MacAlistair Ritchie

i was only reading about the beginnings of C and C++ last week. i won't profess i know C or any language but i've always had an interest in them and what people are coming and have come up with up with etc.
i think it would be nice if someone made a tribute to him in C

I started learning C++, so I'm still new to all of this and I didn't know this guy is, but after reading more about him, and more about the C language, I am now aware on how genius and important this man was! RIP Dr. Ritchie..

I understand your anger.
But I only heard the sad news an hour ago.

Unlike Steve Jobs, his death won't be on 3 or 4 headlines per day on every freaking online newspaper / magazine / blog.

Funny how a real GENIUS is practically unknown, but a "******** artist" like Steve Jobs gets all the praise, especially for things he didn't do.

A man who has did so much for computing and programming.
The basis on which so much of what we take for granted is developed on.
