[Haskell-cafe] 1000 libraries

[Don Stewart]

We've done it!

http://hackage.haskell.org/cgi-bin/hackage-scripts/stats
274 users have uploaded 3161 versions of 1000 packages. 

Thanks everyone who has written a library or tool or app and released
it, for making hackage and cabal a success!

This has gone further, perhaps more than anything else, towards making
it possible to use Haskell in industry.

The lucky 1000th package is:

    http://hackage.haskell.org/cgi-bin/hackage-scripts/package/threadPool-0.1
    threadPool: Runs other programs in the manner of a thread pool

    Takes a single, optional argument which is the number of threads
    (the default is three). Give it the commands to run, one per line,
    through standard input.

Now, onto 10k libraries!
