Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Pantalk is an interpreted cross-platform programming language developed in the early 1980s by Cojyp (HyperPanel Lab) for use on Canal Plus' MediaHighway interactive tv platform and other embedded environments.Pantalk is a partially tokenised interpreted language in which structured code written as plain text (*.isb files) and then precompiled into *.isc files. These *.isc files can be compiled into bytecode (p-code, or *.isu files). It features a subset of the simpler control structures, operators, variable types and statements that you expect from any compiled or interpreted language, and it also has features of its own. For example the variables declaration (all global across whole applications), the memory allocation, the management of the graphics and widgets. It misses some basics like data structures, subroutines and functions outside of loading a new tokenised file (apart from the system API) and feels like a very old style basic. All variables are global.
