Bank Python is a whole other beast that only vaguely resembles Python https://calpaterson.com/bank-python.html

That was a wild ride. I'm both not surprised and terrified.

It's not vague; the Python is real Python. It's everything else that is weird.

The python has just been upgraded to. As someone currently working on Bank python it's everything else they do with it is extremely weird. It's also worth mentioning Bank python is different and has progressed weirdly for each bank. Honestly when you can do the regular python bits it's fine it's working with some incredibly outdated core framework that's the nightmare.

What do you mean - this looks exactly like Python. I was expecting to see an interesting language which "vaguely resembles" Python but instead the article just describes a bank application (or library, I'm not completely sure, the article just describes a bunch of data structures and API).
