Eclipse turns 5
November 8, 2006 by Nitin Dahyabhai.
Yesterday was both a mid-term election day in the U.S. as well as the 5th birthday of Eclipse. Birthday parties were held, stuff was given away, people drank together (at least until the open bar fund ran out). 5 years ago, we hadn’t caught Osama bin Laden, people thought of Eclipse as mostly an “IBM thing”, two next-generation home video game consoles were days from launching in the U.S., one of which supported some new-fangled video on disc format, and geeks worldwide were eagerly awaiting Sam Raimi’s upcoming film about an obscure superhero calling himself The Human Spider.
The times they are a changin’.
