Dennis Ritchie was the creator of C (programming language). He was awarded National Medal of Technology in 1999; recently he got the Japan award for his work in UNIX and many more..... He had been in frail health for several years and was left to die alone ... He died just a month after "your hero” STEVE JOBS died. But he was ignored by the world.
Whatever Operating system you are using or any software it all started with C , can you survive without them, I bet no .
I am a computer science student and haven’t used any Apple product yet but my life is still awesome.
C is basic script for most other programming languages. If no C , then no C++ that means no UNIX , No Linux, No Windows . Ni Crysis , no GTA no other cool game… 90% of application are scripted by C.
If YOU think he should get some respect … Please share ….
