In Ferrara Dialect(èsar) cott means "to be cooked" (e.g., l'è cott!), but also "to be knackered/wasted" (e.g., a't j'è pròpria còtt!). This acronym is a crasis for C, as this is a C++ library, and Ott, the original tool from which I took inspiration for making this library.
Why on Earth would you need to use Rust for writing functional code, when the only thing you need is a proper way to better structuring your code? Fear not, as this library is what it needs for having both automatic memory management à la Java (shared_pointers) with automated recursive view of your rules expressed in lambda notation through Yoneda's Lemma.
Some examples given with this library include:
- Implemeting natural numbers arithmetics semantics while directly evaluating to
size_t - Implementing finite CCS small-step semantics while generating the LTS.
