Hi,
I posted something similar recently but I know there are 100s of banks and hedge funds alike that run daily calculations on arrays of servers , and they have very tricky changes in both software and data, daily.
Do you think Guix(HPC - i don't know what specializations go there 😅) can be the prime tool for the job?
