I was completely surprised to hear that the Alain Comerauer Price was presented to me for SWI-Prolog. It is a great honour. I have acknowledged all contributors I could think of in the short period I had to prepare my speech. **Thank you all, contributors as well as users!**

As an occasional contributor: Congratulations! …
Working with @jan to add or update some functionalities – which involved digging into the guts of SWI-Prolog – has been one of the most pleasant experiences in my programming life … @jan has been amazingly patient, responsive, helpful. (Also, I’ve been pleasantly surprised by almost every design decision I’ve seen; I can’t say that for a lot of code I’ve worked on over the years.)

Besides my own, congratulations also on behalf of GPT5 which thanks to SWI-Prolog’s web presence is now a great Prolog co-worker!

I have a problem with the title: SWI-Prolog didn’t win, you did Jan. Too modest.

Without a lot of involvement of users and contributors SWI-Prolog would never have got popular and I would not have won anything. Besides making a system, no matter how beautiful, without users is (to me) no fun.
