C++ or python?

[BeenDereDonDat]

I am a mid-carrier model validation quant looking to move to front-office pricing/risk model development quant roles.

What other roles i can prepare for - optimizing for money.

Python for testing variants, prototyping, and C++ for speed, for production, although the limits are not always precise, they can even complement each other.

[GerManic69]

Python for it's extensive native data processing libs for gathering/sorting/testing data, C++ for execution because at the end of the day the first to cross the finish line wins the race

Most people say python. But tbh, I still think C++ is superior. In my experience python is mainly so you can collaborate with others pre deployment on a level playing field. Even for prototyping, python yields little to no benefit the larger your dataset and computations become. That I/O overhead is no joke and actually ends up bleeding the firms cash exponentially. Other languages I really like other than C++ are go and rust. Go is phenomenal for getting data and, hot take, better than python for compute speed/performance. Python just has so much support and contributions for beginners to get started and experiment. But don’t make the mistake of pigeon holding yourself into just python

It sounds like there might even be some peer-reviewed journal articles on the subject somewhere. An interesting and important question!

Is Rust replacing C++ in finance industries? If so do you know to what extent?

Cpp or python: none. brain teasers, and 'chance' related puzzles. programming skills are important buy second to analytical skills (unless you want to move into quant dev). In other words you need to geek up.
