Jane Street are indeed well-known and well-renowned for their work with OCaml. It works for them but remains a small niche with little traction. Bloomberg actually do a significant amount of indirect give-back for C++ and a little for Java: they do a lot of sponsoring of C++ events and have staff on standards committees. We at ACCUConf like Bloomberg. I haven't been aware of Scala give-back from Morgan Stanley, I shall hunt it out. The organizations I know using Scala generally stay pretty quiet about it other than they are using it. Ditto for Python. > Finance is just one more industry, but it's quite a pragmatic one > and still has a decent share of global IT spending. I have made quite a lot of my income over the last 7 years from finance industry, commercial banking and hedge funds, I am not complaining. :-) -- Russel. ============================================================================= Dr Russel Winder t: +44 20 7585 2200 voip: sip:[email protected] 41 Buckmaster Road m: +44 7770 465 077 xmpp: [email protected] London SW11 1EN, UK w: www.russel.org.uk skype: russel_winder
