RIP: Dennis Ritchie

Folks, it has been awhile since we lost Steve Jobs, titan of Apple, creator of the iPod, and that guy who made Bill Gates get nightmares. But a couple of days ago, we lost yet another well-known Titan. Dennis Ritchie.

Dennis Ritchie is well-known for the C Programming language, which became a common programming language in program development, including games. He also was known for the development of the Unix operating System(Alongside Ken Thompson), the OS that later lead to Linus Torvald's Linux Operating System.

Dennis Ritchie, thank you for developing a well-common Programing Language and the framework that later became Linux.
