Around 2008/2009 I was briefly (about 6 months) employed to write Jovial and 286 assembly language for software that controlled satellite communication base stations. Unfortunately I was laid off before I got to write very much of it, but it seemed like a neat (if cumbersome and old fashioned) language. Information about it is pretty hard to find, and there's no open source or free compilers that I know of, but here are some links I had saved.
