Mike Gerwitz cf57857ce5 bin/: Server/client build scripts 
These scripts allow the TAME compiler stack to be invoked naturally, rather
than requiring the use of a Makefile today.  This will not only allow users
to more easily invoke the compiler, but will also allow us to invoke TAME
naturally from Makefile and remove the klugery that has existed for so
long.

This users a server/client architecture in order to mitigate the startup
cost of the JVM.  More documentation will follow.

Note that there are a bunch of symlinks in rater/---this is a transition
step to allow the build to continue working as it did before, which relies
on a directory structure that exists outside of this repository.  This will
be cleaned up in the future.

* .gitignore (bin/dslc): Add ignore for generated file.
* bin/dslc.in: New script to encapsulate Java invocation.
* bin/tame: New script (client).
* bin/tamed: New script (server).
* configure.ac (JAVA_OPTS, DSLC_CLASSPATH, AUTOGENERATED): New variables for
  dslc.in.  Output bin/dslc.
* rater/README.md: Note that this symlink mess is temporary.
* rater/c1map: New symlink for dslc assumptions.
* rater/c1map.xsl: Likewise.
* rater/calc.xsd: Likewise.
* rater/compile.xsl: Likewise.
* rater/compiler: Likewise.
* rater/dot.xsl: Likewise.
* rater/include: Likewise.
* rater/link.xsl: Likewise.
* rater/standalone.xsl: Likewise.
* rater/summary.xsl: Likewise.
* rater/tame: Likewise (warning: circular symlink).
* src/current/src/com/lovullo/dslc/DslCompiler.java (_DslCompiler)[compile]:
  Output `DONE' lines.

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 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) are 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.

More information will become available as various portions are liberated during refactoring. tame-core is TAME's core library, and hoxsl was developed as a supporting library.

"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:
