Eulogy for Pieter Hintjens

[Posted January 2, 2017 by ris]

Pieter Hintjens passed away last October. "Pieter was known mostly for founding the ZeroMQ project but he was also an ambitious fighter for the open source philosophy, an active opponent to software patents and an inspiring and keen thinker on open systems of all kind." (Thanks to Viktor Horvath)

I met him twice and it was life changing experience. It is sad that Pieter was not able to finish Scalable C https://hintjens.gitbooks.io/scalable-c/content/
