I guess Dennis Ritchie, one of the pioneers of computer programming and a towering figure in FOSS died recently. From Slashdot:
>Greedy misanthropist that sold shiny gadgets with sweatshop labor dies and is praised by millions.
>Creator of the most widely used programming language of all time and pioneer of Unix, both arguably a significant contributing factor to the success of every modern tech company, dies and not a single newspaper cares.
Inventor of C and UNIX. 4chan has a sticky for him. That’s the extent of media coverage I could find.
A real legend of technology has died and nobody will even understand what he did.
