- S4M 11y agoWhat small enclaves in finance are you talking about? I know that banks have small scripting languages that enable semi-technical users to describe a derivative product ("if condition1 then payoff1 etc.") but those are old and I doubt they are actively maintained and that banks are hiring people for that.

We're even hiring: https://donsbot.wordpress.com/2016/01/18/haskell-developer-roles-at-standard-chartered-london-singapore/ https://donsbot.wordpress.com/2016/01/18/haskell-developer-r...
