> what the heck is so great about .NET for these financial people ? A couple of points based on my experience at least: - UI components (such as DevExpress ones) for charts and grids, with fairly good performance - easier interop with Excel/Word (yes, this is important!) - ability to reuse legacy C++ (I did this personally, porting and wrapping code from Solaris to C# and .Net through managed C++) - C# itself is a good language, and it's easier to find recruits compared to say Ruby or Python (at least here in France) Where I've worked at least, almost nobody uses "scripting languages", it's all Java or C# or C++. I firmly believe that keeping IronRuby and IronPython alive will serve a purpose for people working in these fields! |
