A sad news, which might not get the importance it deserves. Dennis Ritchie, who was the brain behind C and then Unix, an undisputed legend and visionary, is passed away the last weekend after a log illness. He was 70. His name is known to all who learnt C language. He also played key role in the development of Unix along with Ken Thompson at Bell labs. We pray to the God to bless his soul with the ultimate peace. He will be remembered for his contribution forever.
