In wholesale finance Python has been deployed for core systems over the last 10 years. For example JP Morgan's Athena platform goes well beyond glue or automation and handles pricing, intraday risk, EOD risk, etrading and STP. Hundreds of millions of dollars have been invested in the build out, and it will be around for decades.
- PaulHoule 10y agoPython, like COBOL and Excel is a good language for people who program as part of their work but are not professional programmers: data analysts, scientists, some finance types, etc. Compare that to C where buffer overflows are common, Rust where the type system is a high art, Java where thread-based concurrency "just works" so you can get in trouble using it, etc.
