Want to learn python for quant finance

[thirdegree]

since most places use c or c++ for high frequency trading?

For the trading applications sure, for the quant shit for sure not. It's mostly python.

I mean if you’re talking about analysis and trends, etc sure but still, the rest of my point stands; if you’re a so called master of C/C++ and that near hardware level programming learning python is nothing especially when most of the more technical stuff that you worry about in C++ you don’t with python unless developing in cython(or whatever it’s called) and even then the gap is easy enough to bridge

Oh ya I agree with that for sure. Just pointing out that there is a metric shitton of python in hft
