The software used in the E8 project is readily available, and it
looks to be more-or-less pure C++. There is only one mention of
SAGE, and that is in a directory string: "/data1/sage".
I think that they used sage.math, not SAGE.
Still, there is a bunch of hype that could be misleading, but I don't
think it's a big deal. "Any publicity...", as has been often observed.
