Transaction Application Language (TAL, not "Tandem Application Language" as sometimes believed) is a block-structured, procedural language optimised for use on Tandem hardware. TAL resembles a cross between C and Pascal and is the primary system programming language on Tandem computers. Tandem has no assembler and originally had no C or Pascal.
