TOL is a high level programming language designed to provide the flexibility
and power required to handle the time information as required by those peple
that must develop solutions for analysis, forecast, and decision making.
» TOL. Time Oriented Language
The technological platform used to implement the solutions provided by Bayes
Forcast is called Tol (Time Oriented Language). It is an Open Source Software
for the treatment, modeling, and explotation of massive time information.

Bayes
Forecast develops Tol for systems running on Microsoft platforms as well as
UNIX platforms (including Linux).
The main features of Tol are:
- Developed on C and C++.
- Interpreted programming language.
- Basically declarative, although it allows flux control.
- Dynamic memory management (scope).
- Self-evaluting language.
- Functions are Code type and can be used as arguments of other functions
and store as structures.
- Lazy evaluation.
- The user can create functions and data structures.
- It allows recursivity of functions (mono and polyciclic).
- Strongly typed language.
- Implmenttation of an algebraic representation of time that allows mainpulation
as time series as virtually inifinite objects.
