Just found out Dennis Ritchie died earlier this week....
He was a co-creator in two software codes that play a part in many people daily lives.... C, the predecessor of C++ and Unix OS (which was written in C), of which Mac OS X and Linux are based on.....in OS X's case it is the backbone of that OS behind all the fancy GUI.......
Back when I was a scientist, Unix was the first operating system I became conversant in........and although I came from a Fortran background, C was a language I was getting to know very well......
