High speed fiance is mostly done in Java and Haskell, because mistakes are expensive. (And yeah, it's one of the very few fields that Haskell enters the list.)

HFTs have pretty much all moved to FPGAs for sub-microsecond latencies in past few years. C++ can’t compete with that, let alone Java or Haskell.
Jane Street is all-in on OCaml.

Their podcast titled "Signals and Threads" is quite interesting.

They maybe the sole one that does not use C++
Wouldn't the tail latency really mess with you tho? You could be doing really bad things with bad data.
Now a "high speed fiance" is something you should be really careful around
oh wow! I had no idea at all. I'll have to read more about this :)
