Everyone I’ve met, including on the steering committee, has been funded by high-frequency trading. Heck, I almost took a job on a handshake in manhattan on this premise. But it just seems, even now, archaic for the task. As the author mentions, the community is small, the integrations are weak. You will be working on legacy systems if anyone pays you well. Same with certain parts of national defense, but we’ll make fun of PDP-11’s and FORTRAN another day. Proactive thought: why don’t we fund a B-team to say, try using Julia? Even ERLANG has some superior qualities for these real-time audited tasks. (And hey, if you want employees for some reason, just use python).
