Hi all
What do you think about this new programming language in quantitative finance particularly in classical quant finance i.e. derivatives pricing. Pros and cons vs C++/Python or other software as matlab. It is worth studying it?
thanks
Miguel

What's v++?
Why Julia in your opinion? The next great wave?
Here is another exotic(?) language

It's a bug in C++, Cuchulainn
"C/C++" was already disturbing, but "C++/Python" is wicked...
I'm also curious if Julia is popular in finance. I looked into it briefly, but it seems in my case making use of its potential would require too much RAM.

I suppose Julia supports complex arithmetic?

It is a really cool and powerful 21st century programming language, with a particular affinity for math. Can it do everything that python, C++ or COBOL can do for you? No. And that’s why we will have to keep those languages and their native speakers around for decades. But if you’re not overly constrained by a legacy environment, maybe something worth looking into.
