Making a comeback? When did it ever go away?
The author talks about high frequency trading and finance applications, but it does not seem he has ever worked in the field. Production HFT is written in C++.
- NotSwift 5y agoWhat's interesting is that some of it happens to be written in Haskell.
- gotoeleven 5y agoYes it's easy to find orders sent by haskell because they're unfilled and marked 'canceled'.
- avmich 5y agoAnd Java. I suspect that would be harder to believe to some.
- NotSwift 5y agoMay I politely disagree. A lot of software in financial institutions is written in Java (maybe this is a cultural bias because I happen to live in Western Europe). The fact that some of the HFT software is (or was) written in Haskell is pretty amazing because when you first look at it, it does not appear to be a good language for being very fast.

- Zababa 5y agoThat's what I don't understand, C++ has always been one of the most popular programming languages.
