The F-35’s Software Is So Buggy It Might Ground the Whole Fleet

C and C++ for the vast majority. Some Ada. Some Fortran, but probably only in physical modules (LRUs) that are being reused (COTS or GOTS) from other projects.

http://www.militaryaerospace.com/articles/2013/10/software-c... -- but a Google search reveals much the same from any article I can find, and just reiterates what I've read in past articles on F-35 software.

The article seems to confuse ALIS with software that runs on the aircraft. ALIS is a web-based portal used by logistics and maintenance personnel to manage the logistics and maintenance for the F-35.

As the article states: “ALIS is the ground-based computer system meant to diagnose mechanical problems, order and track replacement parts, and guide maintenance crews through repairs. It also allows pilots to plan missions and later review their performance.”

Yeah, you're right. My comment is less appropriate as an answer to the question of ALIS's language.
