  COOL
       COBOL Object Orientated Language (OOP, COBOL)
       
       

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.

  CooL
       
           Combined object-oriented Language.
       
          An {object-oriented} language from the {ITHACA} {Esprit}
