个人简介
Ken Thompson invented the UNIX operating system at Bell Labs and the program language B, which has been soon replaced by Ritchie's C.
UNIX operating system was one of the first operating system written in a high-level language, which could be installed in almost every computer. In 1973 he made his first public presentation about UNIX.
Thompson thinks that the success of UNIX is due to serendipity, to the fact that it helped changing from highly centralised mainframe computers to smaller, less expensive and decentralised and he added:
I am a very bottom-up thinker. If you give me the right kind of Tinker Toys, I can imagine the building. I can sit there and see primitives and recognize their power to build structures a half mile high, if only I had just one more to make it functionally complete. I can see those kinds of things.
In 1992 Thompson developed the UTF-8 encoding in collaboration with Rob Pike, which is the mostly used character encoding for the World Wide Web.
Recent work has included the co-design of the Go programming language.
