Hello Equator.app

Dennis Ritchie, inventor of the C programming language

By Bob Rosenschein

When Dennis Ritchie invented modern software along with Ken Thompson and wrote the immortal “C Programming Language” book with Brian Kernighan, their first pristine example was a program to display two words: “hello world!”

main() {
printf(“hello world!”);
}

It struck me as a fun start to this blog, a 5-year mission to explore new worlds and share insights with you about what should be obvious but isn’t.

So hello and welcome to our blog. We look forward to hearing from you!
