Without Unix there would have been no Macos X nor Linux; without C no Windows either. It's near impossible to overstate the impact dmr had on our computing

Yup, without Unix there would be no CC web server ...

R.I.P. in the knowledge that what you made - did change the world.

A modern classic. Websites, sat navs, internet routers, cycle computers, mobiles all wouldn't exist without Richie - been a sad week for the techie world.

Of course they would.

Little or nothing is invented in isolation, other people would have been working on the same lines. He just got there first.

I used that book for years. It was handy and straightforward to use, and mercifully thin. I didn't realise Dennis Ritchie co-created Unix and C.
