One of these men is hailed as an innovator and a genius. His life is the subject of an award winning biopic and he created a Fortune 500 Company.
The other man made coding and programming what it is today. Thanks to this second man it is possible to teach 10 year old school kids some basic programming skills.
Both these men contributed immensly to their field, both of them died the same year.
One is celebrated, the other is forgotten.
The sad indictment is that marketing and publicity gave Steve Jobs an unfair advantage over Dennis Ritchie.

I still love steve, the thing is how well , not how far

Thats life bro

painful tho

Denis Ritchie;
D creator of almighty c

Dennis Ritchie. Any day, any time. Though he was recognised before he died, but not as much as the contribution he make to computing and programming generally. So so sad..

Na Dennis na...he built things that were used to build most of the things we see today

Mac came from Unix
Linux from Unix

Android is also linux.....leading back to Unix


C++ from C
Even cpython the standard implementation of python is written in C

Steve Jobs is not a programmer IMHO. That comparison is not technically correct.

Steve Jobs was not a programmer.
You Should Compare Dennis & Steve Wozniak .
Then I would go with Steve .
