history
Project history and usage
Cot is a Rust web framework and CLI that explicitly aims for a Django-like, batteries-included developer experience. Its package-manager relevance is that it ships not just a library but a project generator and service-running workflow through `cot`/cot-cli.
Project history
The cot-rs/cot repository was created in June 2024. The README describes Cot as a modern, fast Rust web framework built on axum and familiar to Django users, with integrated ORM, admin panel, templates, security defaults, and documentation.
Adoption history
Cot is newer and smaller than established Rust web frameworks, but its crates.io badge, GitHub releases, Homebrew formula, and Nix package entry show early packaging beyond direct `cargo install`. Its adoption story is therefore early-stage package availability rather than broad ecosystem standardization.
How it is used
The guide shows the CLI creating projects and running services, with `-c` or `--config` selecting configuration and `config/dev.toml` as the default development config. That makes the Homebrew package useful for developers who want the generator and runtime command available outside a single Cargo workspace.
Why package nerds care
For package maintainers, Cot is a Rust CLI plus framework stack with code generation and config-file conventions. It is the kind of package where keeping the CLI version aligned with the framework crates matters more than merely installing a standalone binary.
