Frases de Gary Kildall

Gary Arlen Kildall foi um cientista da computação estadunidense e empreendedor de computadores, responsável por criar o sistema operacional CP/M e fundar a Digital Research, Inc. Kildall foi uma das primeiras pessoas a enxergar os microprocessadores como computadores de uso geral ao invés de meros controladores de máquina dedicados, e por organizar uma empresa em torno deste conceito. Ele também coapresentou o programa de TV Computer Chronicles da PBS. Embora sua carreira na computação tenha durado mais de duas décadas, ele é lembrado principalmente por sua ligação com a tentativa malsucedida da IBM em 1980 de licenciar o CP/M para o IBM PC.

“The ALGOL compiler was probably one of the nicest pieces of code to come out at that time. I spent hours trying to fix and change the compiler. Working with it so closely affected the way I think about programming and had a profound influence on my style.”
