RIP. Your legacy lives on. Unix and C shaped the modern computer world.
Steve Jobs was standing on the shoulders of giants. One of those giants was Dennis Ritchie.
Update: A great eulogy by Herb Sutter.
And more from Wired, echoing my own sentiment above:
The tributes to Dennis Ritchie won?t match the river of praise that spilled out over the web after the death of Steve Jobs. But they should.
And then some.
