Pronam Posted October 14, 2011 Share Posted October 14, 2011 (edited) To most this person will probably say little, but he's one of the reasons we're happily playing games, are able to use google and use the thousands of applications build upon languages based on C. The new york times has a nice read about it. I just remembered the name because I got across it on wikipedia once when looking for info about languages. Steve jobs was someone who stood at the start of consumer technology, David Richie is one of influences that made it possible.

sendo75 Posted October 16, 2011 Share Posted October 16, 2011 RIP indeed. The usage of this legacy computer language has resulted in a myriad of softwares running on all kinds of technology that has truly changed the lives of humanity. Even though he has a low media profile, his contributions and impact are definitely more than Steve Jobs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
