Interesting! What are Bonsai's dependencies? I use OCaml but - so far - none of Janestreets libraries etc.

> And because Bonsai is written in OCaml, it becomes possible to use the same language and types on both the backend and frontend. Finally! I was waiting for this to become possible!
Sarcasm?
Do you want to have a talk as to why JaneStreet wasn't built on JavaScript?
Earlier quoted context omitted.
FWIW if you listen to Signals and Threads (the Jane Street podcast) they talk about this. They have dedicated UX designers who do relatively little code but focus entirely on making the UX as optimal for the traders as possible and one of them was on an episode. They talked about how most of the normal UX rules for SW go out the window because quants and traders have such different needs than "normal software".
Is there any professional software that wouldn't benefit from high information density? Most software design is optimized for the non-users who have to approve it.
I am sure it's very performant, but to me it's extremely ugly; Surely someone can fix margins and still have it be performant.
What does JaneStreet do besides sponsoring nerdy Youtube channels and writing UI libraries?

And yet, we make such beautiful and vacant software ourselves for our clients, because again, its b2b, so you aren't selling to the people who actually have to use the software. Im glad at least we arent forced that often to use specific internal tools, the better ones just get adopted organically

To OP’s original question, they made $20B last year and have a niche in several financial products
