Dennis Ritchie Interviewed

Posted by CowboyNeal on from the r-in-k-&-r dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Unix.se has published an interview with Dennis Ritchie (inventor of C, co-creator of Unix)." Not very technical, but Dennis shares his thoughts on GNU, kernel design, and more.

    The Plan 9 bunny is cute, but look closer, why the need to draw testes on it?

    Now if someody asks me what am I doing on windows... I can say that Dennis also does that.

    Even so, /. crowds can make more than hundreds comments on something like that. :)

    As he stated himself in the interview Ken was the real mastermind behind Unix and in some ways behind C (B).

    And as he uses NT at home he is pretty much irrelevant to slashdot I would say.

    What a non-story.

    Yeah, I was thinking of suggesting some questions to the guy who did the interview, for the next time he interviews someone in IT. Like:

    - What's your favourite lollipop flavour?
    - In "Snow White + the Seven Dwarves", which is your favourite dwarf?
