They all had different strengths.

if thompson is the lord wizard then why is nobody mentioning him damn it

My impression is that ritchie was the silent but idealistic guy with lits of visions for the future and thompson was the down to earth uberhacker who coded 24/7.

>>62212781
Thompson was the one who wrote the most code, but Ritchie is responsible for C. This is the kind of topic where people will have different opinions, so pick whoever makes more sense to you.

There doesn't have to be a "main" guy, stop trying to downplay the achievements of a team.
Especially in that time period, there was tight collaboration and people werent arrogant enough to claim a group effort as their own

>K or R
are you kidding me, m8?

>>62214473
Well, Thompson's name starts with a K…

I'm not sure, but I don't think r/K selection applies to either of these creatures.

Dennis Ritchie died alone
his death was overshadowed by the death of Steve jobs

Feels bad
