Good article.

"The entire network runs on software known as Jovial, so old there are

Ironic name for the language in this context....

I'm not sure that saying that it runs on software known as Jovial is
correct. It might be written in the Jovial computer language, but Jovial
is not the software per se.

Regardless, I know a couple of programmers who previously worked DoD
contracts on projects that were written in Jovial.

But, it's not like this would be the first time that the media was wrong
about something.
