Worked at Morgan Stanley's fixed income desk many years ago as my first job after grad school, programming A+. It was a decidedly acquired taste. The language and style were utterly alien to anyone coming from a background in C (and at that time an early version of Java.) While A+ was fast for manipulating arrays (much of what the trading floor needed), it seemed that doing GUI development with A+ was really pointless. The speed of the language didn't matter in GUI interactions, and it was very hard do understand other people's code.
