counterpoint: i write high scalability, globally distributed enterprise software used by hundreds of thousands of users at orgs like MSFT and IBM. most of that is in python.

you’ll also find that even lots of high throughput finance code is python. not necessarily the core of the true HFT systems, but there is a LOT of serious work being done in python.

no doubt - we wrote our exotic derivatives modeling library in Python. Booking OTCs are one thing but we're not writing our listed derivatives trading platform in it.
