From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (27 SEP 03) [foldoc]:
COOL
1. {Concurrent Object-Oriented Language}.
2. CLIPS Object-Oriented Language?
3. A C++ class library developed at {Texas Instruments}. COOL
contains a set of containers like Vectors, List, Hash_Table,
etc. It uses a shallow hierarchy with no common base class.
The functionality is close to Common Lisp data structures
(like libg++). The template syntax is very close to Cfront3.x
and g++2.x. Can build shared libraries on Suns.
JCOOL's main difference from COOL and GECOOL is that it uses
real C++ templates instead of a similar syntax that is
preprocessed by a special 'cpp' distributed with COOL and
GECOOL.
