> The entire financial sector runs on Java No, it doesn't. Sure, you'll find a good amount of Java, but it will likely be C++ anywhere that's really latency sensitive. C# is also heavily used for front end GUIs now. F# is growing as well, and the quants (and others) love Python. In my experience in finance, Java is now legacy. It was a fun experiment and had a good go, but it's now withering away. Source: 15 years in financial development, mostly hedge funds, across 4 firms, and having interviewed with dozens of others. Only place I've worked at doing active Java development was a startup CRM SaaS targeting the financial space. Coincidentally, the only Oracle shop ive worked at.
