23 de may. de 2024 · Ken Thompson co-created the Unix operating system and the C programming language at Bell Labs. He also worked on chess computers, Plan 9, and Go. He won the Turing Award and became a CHM Fellow.
Hace 1 día · Ken Thompson: Designed and implemented the original Unix operating system. He also invented the B programming language, the direct predecessor to the C programming language, and was one of the creators and early developers of the Plan 9 operating systems.
Hace 2 días · Dennis Ritchie (right), the inventor of the C programming language, with Ken Thompson. C is an imperative, procedural language in the ALGOL tradition. It has a static type system. In C, all executable code is contained within subroutines (also called "functions", though not in the sense of functional programming ).
8 de may. de 2024 · Robert Griesemer, Rob Pike, and Ken Thompson designed Go. Go became an open-source project and was released publicly in 2012. It quickly gained a surprising level of popularity and has become one of the leading modern programming languages.
9 de may. de 2024 · This paper was written in 1984 by Ken Thompson, one of the inventors of the Unix operating system. Thompson begins this paper discussing a computer program that can reproduce itself, typically called a quine in computer science. It is quite simple to write programs to do this.
Hace 2 días · BCPL (1967): Martin Richards BCPL, a forerunner to C, contributed pioneering ideas to the evolution of programming languages. B (1970): Ken Thompson’s B language, a precursor to C, set the stage for developing a more robust and versatile programming tool.
