” The first version of Enlightenment was released by Rasterman (Carsten Haitzler) in 1997.[5]
Version 0.17, also referred to as E17, was in development for 12 years starting in December 2000[6] until 21 December 2012 when it was officially released as stable.”
That brings back some memories! Back in '98 or '99, I ran into Carsten at UNSW and started talking to him because I thought it was cool how he used roller blades to go between classes.
He set up my Linux login with Enlightenment before many people had even heard of it. My fellow students in the same year were using some hideous black & white (not even greyscale!) window manager, meanwhile I had this awesome colourful setup that felt like it was from the future.
