Jovial or JOVIAL. Jules Own Version of International Algorithmic Language.
I had several opportunities to sit at the feet of Jules Schwartz, the
principal designer
of this language. It added to Algol many features that made Algol better
suited
to actual programming problems, particularly embedded systems problems.
There is currently an active JOVIAL Users Group. I believe they are based
at
Wright-Patterson AFB. As with many language advocates, dedicated JOVIAL
enthusiasts continue to believe their language is still the best option for
most of
the problems it was designed to solve. A great many of our USAF software
systems are operated by JOVIAL.
We have a client who is converting a lot of JOVIAL code to Ada 95 for an
important
military system. I am told that Ratheon is using JOVIAL for the current
upgrade of
the Patriot. The next Patriot upgrade was planning to use Ada, but there
are apparently
some fools at Raytheon who are advocating C++. With luck, Ada will prevail.
