This is an assumption that's existed since the Summary Page was first
devised---that all vectors have at least one value. This is because the
bucket (originating from Liza) always has at least one value in its vectors.
Of course, we still have a problem in that the Summary Page initializes
everything to have a single value by default, and that's still the
case. But this will at least allow for things _outside_ the Summary Page to
provide an empty array. I'll have to address the Summary Page separately,
and that's going to be difficult, since we don't really want to change the
behavior across the board.

TAME
TAME is The Adaptive Metalanguage, a programming language and system of tools designed to aid in the development, understanding, and maintenance of systems performing numerous calculations on a complex graph of dependencies, conditions, and a large number of inputs.
This system was developed at R-T Specialty (formerly LoVullo Associates) to handle the complexity of comparative insurance rating systems. It is a domain-specific language (DSL) that itself encourages, through the use of templates, the creation of sub-DSLs. TAME itself is at heart a calculator—processing only numerical input and output—driven by quantifiers as predicates. Calculations and quantifiers are written declaratively without concern for order of execution.
The system has powerful dependency resolution and data flow capabilities.
TAME consists of a macro processor (implementing a metalanguage), numerous compilers for various targets (JavaScript, HTML documentation and debugging environment, LaTeX, and others), linkers, and supporting tools. The input grammar is XML, and the majority of the project (including the macro processor, compilers, and linkers) is written in XSLT. There is a reason for that odd choice; until an explanation is provided, know that someone is perverted enough to implement a full compiler in XSLT.
"Current"
The current state of the project as used in production is found in
src/current/. The environment surrounding the development of this
project resulted in a bit of a mess, which is being refactored into
src/ as it is touched. Documentation is virtually non-existent.
Documentation
Compiled documentation for the latest release is available via our GitLab mirror, which uses the same build pipeline as we do on our internal GitLab instance. Available formats are:
Getting Started
To get started, make sure Saxon version 9 or later is available and its path
set as SAXON_CP; that the path to hoxsl is set via HOXSL; and then run
the bootstrap script:
$ export SAXON_CP=/path/to/saxon9he.jar
$ export HOXSL=/path/to/hoxsl/root
$ ./boostrap
Hacking
Information for TAME developers can be found in the file HACKING.
