I'm sorry to hear this . I couldn't count the days I've spent enjoying his creations.

A quote from the movie 'Gladiator':

Juba: I will see you again... but not yet... not yet...

int main(void)
{
    printf("RIP, Dennis\n");
    return 0;
}

R.I.P Sir Dennis Ritchie.

I had just started reading his book "C Programming Language", very sad about this.

I think it's a shame that his death is overshadowed by Steve Jobs when Ritchie did more for computing. Nonetheless, they were both influential men.

I've been reading through the K&R, and it's explained things in a way that's thorough without being dense. I appreciate all he's contributed to computers.

What a loss.

Heh, well we do have C1X to look forward to for those of us who generally prefer C.
