I just listed regulations, but it's not just regulations. It's regulations, business knowledge, various social aspects.

And I doubt there's anything we work more complex than human society. Even the most complex scientific models pale in comparison to real human interactions, business or otherwise.

I'd be happy to be proven wrong once we have an AI to take care of other pesky humans :)

A concrete example of a use case is F#, which is being used in the structured products business, where complex financial derivatives agreements need to be expressed mathematically in order to be valued.
