I found this reply that I made in 1984 to Dennis Ritchie in the net.followup newsgroup. I was at the time lobbying Sun to add 8-bit character set support to the firmware, but they wanted to hold out for a 16-bit system, like the as yet unnamed Unicode. There was eventually an interim solution but my memory of that is a bit foggy.

C es difícil? Naaaa 👇

Por cierto, el creador de C, Dennis Ritchie, también fue co-creador de Unix, y en su momento dijo:

"UNIX is very simple, it just needs a genius to understand its simplicity. ."

Un pequeño homenaje a este enorme precursor de la informática moderna, que ayer hubiera cumplido años.

#DennisRitchie almost got fired for making a joke about the #Bellmac32.

"When chips fail, employees make cuff links with them. When a Bellmac-32 is defective, they make belt buckles." (o p)

Hoy cumpliría 82 años el padre del lenguaje C y uno de los padres del sistema operativo #Unix. El gran #DennisRitchie. Uno de los próceres más importantes en la historia de los sistemas operativos y tecnología de la información que no tiene el reconocimiento que merece.

Feliz cumpleaños Dennis, sos uno de mis héroes de la informática.

Dennis MacAlistair Ritchie (September 9, 1941 – c. October 12, 2011) was an American computer scientist.[3] He is most well known for creating the #C programming language and, with long-time colleague Ken Thompson, the #Unix operating system and B# programming language. #DennisRitchie #Linux
