Welcome to the tonto wiki!
Tonto is written in the Foo language. It stands for object oriented
Fortran in reverse.
Foo is identical to Fortran at the expression level but differs
in the way variable, subroutines and functions are declared.
Foo looks like python with declarations, and it translates into
Fortran03. If you want to use it you should know modern and
object oriented Fortran. And it would help if you knew Python or
any other object oriented language.
These web pages at the NCI provide a remarkably short and excellent
introduction to Fortran

The Foo language is described on the Tonto web pages. However, most
people will be able to pick it up by simply browsing the code which is
written to be understood --- and if not, then commented.
