jovial

adj. cheerful, merry, convivial, jolly

JOVIAL is a high-order computer programming language similar to ALGOL, but specialized for the development of embedded systems.JOVIAL stands for "Jules Own Version of the International Algorithmic Language." The "International Algorithmic Language" part of the name is from ALGOL, which was originally going to be called that (or IAL for short). It was developed to write software for the electronics of military aircraft by Jules Schwartz in 1959. In the late 1970s and early 1980s, the U.S. Air Force adopted a standardized CPU, the 1750A, and nowadays JOVIAL normally produces programs for that processor. JOVIAL was standardized in 1973 with MIL-STD-1589 and was revised in 1984 with MIL-STD-1589C. It is still widely used to update and maintain software on older military vehicles and aircraft. There are three dialects in common use: J3, J3B-2, and J73.
