- anotherjhacker 3y agoSure, a fancy calculator that supports rather efficient execution on ridiculously large machine farms. What some people might call the implementation language for a database engine.

- 7thaccount 3y agoQuant firms don't spend millions on what is just "a fancy calculator". It's more than that. It's a high performance combination of programming language and database that are tightly integrated together and more than the sum of their parts. I wouldn't want to write generic software in it, but it's pretty powerful for analysis.
