Today marks the 10 years mark since the first commit of [containers](https://github.com/c-cube/ocaml-containers/) \[1\] was created 🎉 🥳. It’s been quite a ride! I’m grateful to all users and contributors, without whom the library wouldn’t have reached its current version of 3.11 after roughly 72 releases!!
Happy birthday 🐪-📦! 🙂

1. containers is an extension of the stdlib, trying to complement it rather than replace it.

Thank you Simon! Containers was a key part of my getting productive with OCaml, after bouncing off of it a couple of times before ~2019. Base and Core didn’t (and still don’t) resonate, but containers was a “just right” foundation that has rarely failed me. 👏👏 👏

Congrats! 🥳

A great milestone indeed! I’m a newly minted OCamler (or whatever it’s called), but I totally love containers and I’ve learned a lot from it!
Here’s to many more birthdays to come! 🍻
