Can anyone comment on the scope and scale of Bloomberg’s c++ codebase? And is this their terminal system?

(Former employee of quite a few years). The C++ usage is high due to a lot of legacy systems written in C++, however most new development (unless performance critical is not written in C++. I would estimate that Bloomberg actually has more JavaScript than it has C++.

When referring to the Terminal itself it's important to note that as a 'system' itself, it's incredibly broad and complex. You can do so many things via the system, it's equivalent to the broadness of a web-browser. In fact the Terminal application is powered by chromium these days. But the systems it connects to can be anything from trading systems, to Chat applications.

When did the terminal application move from Citrix to Chromium?
