At Goldman Sachs they have a programming environment called SecDB that most business is done in. The language, Slang, is a dynamically typed scripting language similar to Python/Ruby. One of the many reasons Goldman's strategies group has been so successful for the past 15 years or so is because they don't hit a productivity brick wall of emailing broken excel sheets to each other the way many other financial orgs do.
