Ken Thompson should work on Linux

For those who dont know the unix OS was started by Ken Thompson who was originally trying to make a video game on an unused computer at AT&T. It then grew into an OS as a file system was added and other components. Ken is now working at Google, and Google uses the Linux OS for Android. So wouldnt it be a good idea to let the father of Linux work on its most successful offspring? Im sure that Google can lend Ken for a month or so to work on Linux for the betterment of computing.

You just listed a bunch of more or less simple protocols and file types, standardized hashing algorithms and a programming language, which all existed for an arguably long time. Besides that, neither C, nor http, ftp, cifs, smb, png, jpeg, pdf, mpeg, IPs, tcp, udp, tftp, dns, utf, irc, etc, are supermodern, or anything to envy. Especially not HTTP, FTP and C.

But i'm talking about stuff that got ``invented'' recently. If you don't know what i'm talking about, you probably should refrain from posting in this thread.
