To commemorate this milestone, I have updated the LtU Indexes for those that need to catch up.

As a freshman in CS who visits this site religiously, all I can give is a big "thank you!" to the editors and everyone who posts here. You spark my interest in all corners of CS, and you often keep me up late reading when I should be doing my homework. I've learned more through this site than I ever could in any class. I can only hope that in a few years maybe a paper of mine will appear here :-)

Decamillennium :-)
I was very careful yesterday not to use that magic post #10000 :-)
On the serious side, this place is great, it brougth me from complete ignorance of Scheme, Haskell and ML to a state of at least accepting their right to existence ;-)
Even deeper, I started to think about programming languages just as carriers of ideas, not unlike living beings carrying genes (was that one of the premises of intentional programming?).
All in all, a rich and stimulating community! Thanks, guys :-)

Yes, LtU is also my daily dose of what does me good; which reminds me, I must update the bit of my profile where it says Python is my favourite language...
(For the record, I now don't have a favourite language - although there are several that I'm trying to get to know better. Maybe I should let Python stay until I know enough Oz/Erlang/Haskell/whatever to justify replacing it with one of them).

Funny, my profile has been stating I don't have a favorite language until a couple of days ago :-)
May I ask you what do you think about Alice?

I'd not looked at Alice before, but I've just been peering at the feature list and it seems quite encouraging. Part of what I want is a less purist Haskell (with the option of being purist when it suits me, and having the compiler, type-checker etc. help me to enforce that voluntarily chosen discipline); and another part of it is the kind of logic-and-concurrency-orientated perspective that Peter Van Roy was expounding here recently. So Alice looks pretty good to me...
