Rob Pike: Dennis Ritchie has died
- deleted 15y ago[deleted]
- grosales 15y agoI still remember the first time I picked up K&R. I tried my best to devour it. The technical prose makes the book a tour de force. Every time I write a new "hello world" program from now on, I will add a "Thanks dmr" at the end. May you rest in peace dmr.
- 0x12 15y agoIt's a sad month.
- nikhizzle 15y agoint main(int argc, char argv[]) { struct passwd pw = getpwnam('dmr'); restInPeace(pw->pw_uid); exit(0); }
- greenyoda 15y agoGoodbye, Dennis. It's been just over 30 years since I picked up K&R and started programming in C and using 7th Edition Unix on a PDP-11/45. And C is still among the languages I program in today. You'll be missed.
- drallison 15y agoDennis was a friend. It is very sad to learn of his passing. We are all indebted to him for his many contributions to the field.
- breadbox 15y agoVery sad. RIP, dmr.
- josephcooney 15y agovery sad. I love the writing style of 'The C Programming Language'
- packetslave 15y agoDidn't know him personally, but his work has been an inspiration to me for nearly 20 years. RIP.
- kiba 15y ago70 years. That's a long time to be alive! He was born in the middle of WW2, lived through the cold war, seen the collapse of the soviet union, etc. Me? I was born around the time the Linux OS hatched and the internet is starting to open up.
- melling 15y ago70 years isn't long at all. 100 is the new old: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Centenarian http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Centenarian With a bit more research, many people could live to be 90-100.
- melling 15y agoSorry, I'm not a 20 something saying wow 70 is a long time, I'm closer to 50 than 40 so I can almost see 70. I was trying to provide some perspective on 70 not being old. It should still be a very productive time in peoples lives, and it's still way too young to die.
- strait 15y agoAlan Turing would be 99 if he were alive today.
- tomjen3 15y agoAnd he would have been if social conservatives hadn't destroyed him. god damn I fucking hate them.
- cbr 15y agoHe probably would have lived longer, but living to 99 is pretty rare.
- dmm 15y agoTuring's destruction is more complicated than just prosecution by conservatives. He had access to extremely secure information over a period of years, this is what drew attention to his homosexuality. When someone gets a security clearance, what do you think is looked for? Not many spies or people who eventually divulge information to an enemy country have explicit ties, eg. they aren't a member of a communist party. What is investigated are characteristics that would make a person likely to be influenced: debts, addictions, gambling problems or, as in Turing's case, some sort of socially unaccepted lifestyle. Around the time of Turing's conviction, several other homosexuals had been convinced by the soviets to become double agents, eg. Anthony Blunt and Guy Burgess. Turing also made regular trips to the continent to pursue sexual relationships. This is what inspired the indecency charges. That's my understanding at least. Please understand, what happened to Turing was terrible. No one deserves that fate. I really do wish he could have escaped somehow. That said I don't think the situation was as simple as social conservatives destroying people.
- ltamake 15y agoVery sad. His contributions to the world were huge. RIP.
- bch 15y agoThey were huge, and still are. 40 years on, his work is the basis for a lot of what's interesting in tech right now.
- desireco42 15y agoblack stripe on top of hacker news is really nice touch out of respect
- Shenglong 15y agoBlack bar, definitely deserved. Thanks pg.
- deleted 15y ago[deleted]
- irrumator 15y agoOne of the most influential people in the world whose contributions were immense. He will be sorely missed.
- 5hoom 15y agoThis is really sad. Dennis Ritchie has made an incalculably huge contribution to the tech world. I know most here would be aware, but he is a father of both Unix and the C language, technologies which are the basis for nearly everything we as developers do. He helped write K&R, which many regard as _the_ book for C programming. This is the passing of a legend. Sincerest condolences to his family and friends.
- bch 15y agoNot only is K&R _the_ book for C, it's an example for engaging, lucid, just-right technical writing that any technical manual should strive for.
- alperakgun 15y agoThe conciseness of this book is what I enjoyed the most, just think it could have been 1000 pages, even more...
- kalid 15y agoThat book is a reminder of a time when Wrox & friends weren't trying to crank out 5 lb tomes on .NET SOAP Interoperability. So many modern books read like a student trying to pad out a page count for a professor.
- davidw 15y agoI wonder what will happen to books like this, as these guys pass away. For instance, I don't see updated versions of Stevens' books, which are classics in their own right with regards to network and systems programming on Unix. I learned a ton of things from those, and wow, they're sure beautiful books.
- bch 15y agoHey @davidw. We can hope that they might receive similar treatment as John Ousterhout's "Tcl and the Tk Toolkit" did. JOs work (including TatTT) is often held up as excellent writing as well. The second ed. of that book was updated by a group of experts w/ JOs blessing, but w/o his participation if I understand correctly. Indeed @davidw was a contributor to that project ;) (thx. david.)
- icehawk 15y agoHow sad. RIP, dmr.
- DanielRibeiro 15y agoTo remember[1]: Dennis MacAlistair Ritchie was an American computer scientist notable for developing C and for having influence on other programming languages, as well as operating systems such as Multics and Unix. He received the Turing Award in 1983 and the National Medal of Technology 1998 on April 21, 1999. Ritchie was the head of Lucent Technologies System Software Research Department when he retired in 2007. "C is quirky, flawed, and an enormous success." - Dennis Ritchie, on The Development of the C Language[2] [1] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dennis_Ritchie http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dennis_Ritchie [2] http://cm.bell-labs.com/cm/cs/who/dmr/chist.html http://cm.bell-labs.com/cm/cs/who/dmr/chist.html
- latch 15y agoI used to read The C Programming Language every year. As a amateur tech-writer, it has influenced me greatly (that and _why's work).
- chugger 15y agoOh god. Another legend I truly admire. :(
- rkalla 15y agoI wonder how many people here got to know Ritchie through "The C Programming Language", I am sure half of us have it on our shelves. It is amazing how many lives a single person can touch directly and indirectly. I hope Ritchie passed away knowing the unforgettable contribution he made to the world as we all move forward on a platform he set down for us more than 30 years ago. What an awesome legacy to leave behind. Thank you Dennis.
- smoyer 15y agoI'm old enough that K&R was the bible when I started with Borland's Turbo C 1.0. Another sad day for computer science.
- Hitchhiker 15y agoI started with Turbo C++ 4.0 in 1994 as a geeky 8th grader. You're evoking some powerful memories. A tremendously sad day.
- alnayyir 15y agoYoung(er) dev here: It still is. It's the first, foremost, and only recommendation we give for a C book on Freenode among the veterans. K&R is how I initially learned of Ritchie, along with Unix and hacker lore. This is a sad day for me personally. We're starting to the lose the original hackers. We need to start thinking about biographies and archival options. I appreciate that dmr was a private man, but we need to start making more opportunities to interview these guys. Zed Shaw's work might eventually supplant K&R as my choice for a tutorial for people new to C, but I'll always recommend it to people who really want to know their roots.
- barrkel 15y agoalnayyir, you've been hellbanned. In case you didn't know.
- zach 15y agoAlthough this makes his comments only viewable by comment-necrophiliacs like us and are unchallengeable by reply. It's like alnayyir is a zombie gadfly. Creepy.
- maayank 15y agoWhile I dabbled with the language before, The C Programming Language book was a true eye opener for me. Grokking it truly paved the way for my programming career. RIP Dennis Ritchie.
- glhaynes 15y agoAn exemplar of elegance and clear thought. RIP and thank you.
- dgallagher 15y agoHis brother was superintendent while I was in high school. We asked him to invite dmr to come in and give a speech once, but understandingly dmr was too busy and had to decline. If dmr was anything like his brother, he was a great person and will be missed greatly. RIP, you changed the world for the better.

- steveb 15y agoThere are several billion people using many billions of devices every day. From the code in your microwave to massive computing clusters, virtually all of our software can trace its ancestry back to this man's intellectual output. I'm eternally grateful for his life and contributions to humanity.
- suivix 15y agoMy question is if he didn't create a language like C, would someone else have? Was it such a leap from existing languages?
- alperakgun 15y agogood summary, we owe gratitude too him for so many things...
- bodyfour 15y agoExactly. It's hard to even really comprehend how deep his influence goes; we're so surrounded by it's hard to even see it sometimes. Consider that every single person reading these words are doing so using technology he created -- after all, even if you're not on a UNIX derivative you're probably on an OS and web browser written in C. How much code is written every day in C and its descendants? How much more in languages that themselves are written in C? dmr is part of an very small group of computer scientists that truly changed the paradigm of computing for everyone everywhere (Turing, von Neumann, Engelbart, ...) As long as there are ones and zeros his name will be remembered.

- goodnight 15y agoRIP Dennis. Now that's a guy worth mourning about. I'll check CNN and the BBC to see their special reports, surely if they had them when some marketing CEO kicked the bucket they'll give at least ten times the amount of coverage to a man who was 100 times his better!
- spudlyo 15y agoI for one wish the black bar would stop darkening our door. Both men were great in their own ways and made large contributions to our world.
- 16s 15y agoNo one is better than anyone else really. dmr's work has likely touched more lives than most, but like many researchers and programmers, his work is mostly "behind the scenes" and not flashy or glamorous and he probably wanted it that way. We on HN realize the significance of his work, but most other people won't and that's OK as we all benefit from the things he did whether we realize it or not.
- prodigal_erik 15y agoPlease stop, this isn't a contest, and I for one don't want to see HN kicked in the junk again over it. dmr wasn't a household name simply because most people lack the background to see the clarity and suitability of his work. As much as I cringe at seeing "undefined behavior" robustness compromises today, when he started they were absolutely necessary, and he got our profession through one of its most difficult periods. We few know what we owe him.
- blinkingled 15y ago[..] The networks are in business to give people exactly what they want. That's a far more depressing thought. Conspiracy is optimistic! You can shoot the bastards! We can have a revolution! But the networks are really in business to give people what they want. It's the truth." - Steve Jobs
- m0nastic 15y agoIn the realm of news, almost no one knows who Dennis Ritchie was. You can lament that fact (obviously, to anyone even remotely related to computing he was a figure of paramount importance), but it's ridiculous to expect the mainstream press to understand that importance. Analogies are tenuous, but when Michael Jackson died, it was obviously big news. It was all over television. Nobody reported when Ross Snyder‡ died, even though his influence was of great importance. That's the way these things work. ‡If anyone didn't know, Ross invented the multitrack recorder, one of the most transformative tools in music production.
- jburwell 15y agoTwo visi0naries lost in one week. Unfortunately, Dennis Ritchie's passing will not get the level of coverage of Steve Jobs, but he deserves it. Without his critical contributions, the UNIX core of Steve Jobs' great products could not exist ...
- thepointyhat 15y agoCorrection: one visionary, one businessman.
- InclinedPlane 15y agoIf you have used technology of any sort over the last few decades there's a pretty decent chance that you've used technology that Steve Jobs had a significant impact on. But the chances are 100.00% that you've used technology Dennis Ritchie has had a deeply profound impact on.
- xxpor 15y agoIncluding all of the tech that Steve Jobs had a significant impact on.
- keidian 15y agoExactly. When I first found out about dmr, I really really hoped the stories will flood in here after the massive Steve Jobs amount. Not to take anything away from Steve, but dmr is far more important in my opinion, and I'm sure many other geeks would agree. I'm glad he isn't just quietly being forgotten like I feared he would.
- chugger 15y agoDMR created. SJ inspired. let's not compare both.
- sid0 15y agolet's not compare both. Ah yes, the cognitive dissonance of an Apple fanboy developer who knows that C is far more important than anything SJ ever did yet can't reconcile that with their belief that SJ was god. Shame on Hacker News's audience that the front page isn't filled up with Dennis stories right now.
- BasDirks 15y agoYour comment reeks of fanboyism much more. Don't litter the frontpage posts on our heroes with bitter comments please.
- robert_nsu 15y agoRIP Dennis Ritchie. I can't honestly say that I've spent an entire day at work over the last five years without looking at something that was either created by him or inspired from his work.
- jmags 15y agoWhile this is very sad, I think he would have wanted us to remember that working in a field so young that you have occasion to mourn people who built its foundations is inherently exciting.
- djmdjm 15y agoIt's a testament to the quality and reach of his vision that these words are coming to you via systems that recognisably Unix and written in C _40 years_ after Ritchie (and colleagues) created their progenitors. His work has literally defined generations of operating systems and languages and seems likely to continue to do so for some time. What a great...

- Mithrandir 15y agoI wish I could say I met the man, but it doesn't really matter to me because in a way I've got to kinda know him indirectly through his work; through UNIX-likes and what little I know of C. So RIP, you crazy tinkerer.
- rbanffy 15y agoI noticed every computer around me, be it a laptop, a phone, a TV or a router, runs some kind of Unix.
- mahmud 15y agoLive free or die! Dennis lives somewhere in time.
- raymondh 15y agoGoodbye Dennis. You were a giant. You'll be missed.
- protomyth 15y agoI learned BASIC and 6502 assembly in high school then went to college where the main language was Modula-2 on an IBM 370. I hated Modula-2 and wondered how people actually wrote those cool programs on PCs. It just seems like all the possibilities of assembly really weren't there. It just seemed wrong. Took an optional language class in C which used the K&R C book (draft ANSI C edition) taught on the VAX and was finally able to say "Oh, I get it now". Bought Turbo C 2.0 and had a blast. This is just a truly sucky month.
- codehalo 15y agoDennis Ritchie. Hello World. May he rest in peace.
- _THE_PLAGUE 15y agoThe K&R textbook is still my programming "bible". I don't use C on a regular basis, or at least as not as much as I'd like to, but still refer to it, even so. IMO, people should learn C first - teaches the right principles.
- simon 15y agoDMR was one of my heroes. Rest In Peace Sir. I learned C from the first edition of K&R back in 1989 (iirc) on an Atari ST using the Sozobon C compiler. Happy memories (except for learning to combine pointers and loops and null terminated strings correctly! :-)
- jbondeson 15y agoIt almost seems impossible to imagine men like Ritchie leaving us. His efforts helped usher in the modern computing age. While he is no longer with us in person, may his legacy never be forgotten by those of use who have had the honor to stand on his titanic shoulders. Truly he will be missed.
- zizee 15y agoI'm didn't know the man but it's always sad to see one of the greats fall. I seem to have mislaid my copy of the 'The C Programming Language', which is a shame as it is one of the few of the many programming books I have purchased over the years that continues to be relevant in this fast changing (and exiting) field. RIP dmr, my condolences to your family and friends. You will be missed and your contributions appreciated by hackers the world over.
- spodek 15y agoHis great works had such amazing style -- simple, elegant, meaningful, effective. I think this sentence, which he not only co-authored but also executed on, summarizes it in plain English, all the more so when you read it from the small book in your hands. "C is not a big language, and it is not well served by a big book." These words have guided my writing as much as anything in Elements of Style.
- just4DMR 15y agoRest in Peace, Dennis MacAlistair Ritchie. True Hacker Knight, Shinning Armor. This is just for you. You will be missed.
- jianxioy 15y agoRest in peace.
- Sindisil 15y agoDamn. That hit me harder than I would have thought possible. The family of man is poorer for his passing, regardless of how few may know why. Wow. I don't know if I'm at a loss for words, or have too much to say, but I'm really having a hard time putting my thoughts into a brief post. Rest in peace, dmr.
- 1337p337 15y agoThe |s, the |s are calling.

- luckydude 15y agoAny chance we could get the guy who did the Steve Jobs Apple logo to take a wack at doing one for Dennis? I've never met Dennis but I've talked to him on the phone a bit, and exchanged a pile of email over the years, all about various Unix topics. Though I was nobody, he was always polite, always patient, always willing to pass on knowledge. I'm quite grateful to him for taking the time to exchange ideas and polish them. bwk is the same way. We were working on extending awk to be, well, different (we made awk scripts be part of awk, so any statement could be a script and it could pipe to another script). I talked bwk about the idea and asked if I could do on top of his awk and the next day a tarball showed up of ~bwk/awk, had the source, all the regressions, the source the awk book, everything. I love these guys, they did a lot of things I admire.

Noticing the black bar, I googled and now, I'm enlightened. It's a pity many will never know his name or his contributions but if it means anything, this here Computer Science student would like to say Thank You Mr. Ritchie for all you've done.
- revorad 15y agoCondolences to family and friends. C was my first programming language. Owe a lot to this man. What a sad week.
- peteri 15y agoI read K&R at university in 1986 and found it to be a model of clarity, spent a year supporting Turbo C for Borland when it was first released (that improved my language knowledge no end) Biggest problem was the first Turbo C compiler folded floating point constant division back to front which makes one of the early programs in K&R (Centigrade to Farenheit conversion) fail. That got fixed fairly quickly. He leaves behind a truly amazing legacy of C, *nix and the K&R book.

- moeffju 15y agoJust looking at the stuff on my desk, the only things Dennis Ritchie has not directly or indirectly contributed to are two photos, a pair of scissors, a screwdriver and a salami. Cellphone? Check. Harddisks? Screens? USB devices? TAN generator? Wacom tablet? Applet remote? Mac mini? MacBook Pro? Camera? Check, check, check. Thanks, Dennis Ritchie, for helping to create the foundations of computing as we know it.
- revorad 15y agoThose photos, scissors, screwdriver and even the salami probably involved using a computer at some stage. So he did contribute indirectly.
- kang 15y agoFather of modern software
- sajid 15y agoThis has been a sad week. Whenever I'm learning a new language, I always look for but fail to find a book with the clarity, conciseness and completeness of K&R.
- Swannie 15y agoDitto.
- sharmajai 15y agoC, like thousands of other computer science students, was the first language I learnt. I have always felt that a language is only as popular as the niche it serves. For C that niche started out as OS implementation and expanded into driver programming, UI programming, embedded systems programming, graphics programming, and many many more disciplines. There was Fortran and PL/1 before C, what made C so popular? I will let dmr's friend Brian Kernighan answer it: C is perhaps the best balance of expressiveness and efficiency that has ever been seen in programming languages. At the time it was developed, efficiency mattered a great deal: machines were slow and had small memories, so one had to get close to the efficiency of assembler. C did this for system programming tasks--writing compilers, operating systems and tools. It was so close to the machine that you could see what the code would be (and it wasn't hard to write a good compiler), but it still was safely above the instruction level and a good enough match to all machines that one didn't think about specific tricks for specific machines. Once C came along, there no longer was any reason for any normal programmer to use assembly language. It's still my favorite language; if I were marooned on a desert island with only one compiler, it would have to be for C.[1] If I have to pick one reason for C's popularity, it would be pointers (both function and data) alongwith type casting. IMHO this was the combination that not only gave you full control of the underlying hardware (other languages had done that too) but most importantly it enabled other programming paradigms, (functional, object oriented etc.), while doing that. Thanks for introducing us to the wonderful world of computer programming. RIP DMR. 1. http://www.linuxjournal.com/article/7035 http://www.linuxjournal.com/article/7035
- johnohara 15y agoFor some odd reason I pulled my 1978 version of The C Programming Language off the shelf and it's been on my desk for the past few weeks. Beneath the copyright notice it reads: "This book was set in Times Roman and Courier 12 by the authors, using a Graphic Systems phototypesetter driven by a PDP-11/70 running under the UNIX operating system." Probably on a VT100 with drafts printed on a DECWriter. Quiet. Brilliant. Deliberate. Influential. Modest. May you rest in peace.

- baabuu 15y agoRIP Dennis. I was an uninterested Computer science student bored with writing stupid BASIC programs. Then I got introduced to C which made me realize what studying computers is all about. Then I got to know Unix and Linux. I still remember the day I got my Unix login. I was the first student to get one! My college projects (Linux clusters, routers), my geek friends, my first job and my professional life - all got started by learning C & Unix in a remote university lab thousands of miles away. I'm sure this is a story shared by millions. Thanks dmr! You are a legend!
