Mike Gerwitz c062cc5a5c progtest: Check inputs against known params 
This aims to prevent needlessly wasted time debugging a non-working test
case, and to avoid writing incorrect test cases that happen to succeed even
though their inputs aren't properly defined.

For example, a common error is to use the name of a bucket field rather than
the name of the param that it maps to.

* progtest/src/TestRunner.js (_verifyKnownParams): New method.
  (_tryRun): Use it.
* progtest/test/TestRunnerTest.js: New test case.  Modify existing test
   cases to define used params.
* progtest/test/_stub/program.js (exports.rater.params): Declare used param.

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 Ryan Specialty Group (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
