<https://plus.google.com/101960720994009339267/posts/ENuEDDYfvKP> via Rob Pike - 8:02 PM - Public I just heard that, after a long illness, Dennis Ritchie (dmr) died at home this weekend. I have no more information. I trust there are people here who will appreciate the reach of his contributions and mourn his passing appropriately. He was a quiet and mostly private man, but he was also my friend, colleague, and collaborator, and the world has lost a truly great mind. -- Nevin Liber <mailto:nevin@eviloverlord.com> (847) 691-1404

Many of our lives would simply not be the same as they are today without him. -- John Wiegley BoostPro Computing, Inc. http://www.boostpro.com
