This article seems to be an incomplete pasting of an old article: What Did Ada Lovelace’s Program Actually Do? I was suspicious when it said "A contemporary interpretation of Ada's punch card stack using JavaScript might resemble the following" but didn't have any code.
The real tl;dr is it calculated terms of the Bernoulli series.
