Thanks! Yes, it seems very well suited for it. The financial sector is slow in adapting new technology (with a few exceptions). We need to show what can be built and how stable the new software can be. Adaption will come :)

Very true. While I'm skeptical of things like the blockchain as "the main course" in financial innovation, I noticed there's some general strive towards getting things right and up to date on the tech side of the equation. IEX and Alpaca for example. Whatever it may be, I see Rust on the forefront as its principles make handling things like instrument pricing and managing orders a real pleasure.
