Hello World is No More: RIP Dennis Ritchie

Posted In Internet - By Abhishek Prakash on Thursday, October 13th, 2011 With 3 Comments

Seems like October 2011 is a sad month for tech world. We have lost 3 visionaries who have changed the world by their innovation. First it was Steve Jobs, the founder of Apple Inc then Robert Galvin, Motorola’s cellphone pioneer and now Dennis Ritchie, author of C programming language and co-author of Unix Operating System has died.

If you have ever learned a programming language your first line printed would have been “Hello World” which was Dennis Ritchie’s trademark (if I can say that) when he wrote C language. I found no better to way to pay tribute to Dennis Ritchie than this:

#include <stdio.h>
#include <conio.h>
main( )
{
printf(“Hello World No More \n RIP Dennis Ritchie”);
}

 

I just pray that this month doesn’t bring any other bad news. :(
