This is, quite frankly, a load of bullshit.  The man was awarded with the 
Turing Award for implementing Unix, for pete's sake.  Do you feel so 
confident in your judgement to be able to claim that you know better than 
the entire Association for Computing Machinery?

FWIW, Dennis Ritchie's co-author of the original Unix, Ken Thompson, is 
currently working for Google, developing the Go programming language.  Maybe 
he is eager to be taught a thing or two about programming language design 
and implementation.

Could you point out an example of what you've described as "case-insensitive 
nature of the Unix"?
