      Another big player in computer science has left us. What a sad two weeks this are.

      It's non-exaggerated that without him and his C language, there would not be a Qt DevNet and we can talk together here.

      May he rest in peace.

        There's a nice writeup about him on Ars Technica "here.":http://arstechnica.com/business/news/2011/10/dennis-ritchie-the-giant-whose-shoulders-we-stand-on.ars

        Truly a great loss. The amount of today's commonplace technology (which we take for granted) that has been built on the foundation of his work is mind boggling.
