I've worked a lot on trading floors the last 20 years. Excel was king in 90's and 2000's, recently there is a lot of Python & R around. Not that most of the really complex analytics and data come from C++/C#/Java DLLs or libraries, so many spreadsheets are complex but not that bad.

Excel is still king on the trading floors I've seen (mostly fixed income). There's always a push from management away from trader created spreadsheets but it's so easy for them to mock up a quick calculation, and then they start using it daily...
