RIP, dmr

I love the `return 0;`. Something sad has happened, but it's not the end of the world and everyone continues on.

Man, I was just diving into C this week with Shaw's learn C the hard way and K & R (I'm beginning to wrap my head around pointers. Quite beautiful, really).

This snippet made me tear up. RIP, Dennis Ritchie.

RIP, Dennis Ritchie.

I love that the tribute code is short, concise and has enormous meaning.

Something about C saying that is incredibly depressing. I cried.

I know change happens, maybe it's a function of my age but this increasingly feels like I am living in a different world to the one I started my career in. Interestingly it's no the technology that that feels different, it's the loss of people and companies that shaped the older world.

I'm going back to this page almost every hour today and every time I get to "goodbye, dad\n" part I'm getting emotional... Excellent homage.

This marks the end of all my "Hello World!" first programs; replaced by "goodbye, dad\n"

Legends like DMR don't die, they just gosub without return

main(void)

I know it's kinda tasteless, but `puts` is more appropriate.
