   This post is rather naive. Pandas performance improves when one uses in built functions. Also the performance of pandas is better over numpy for larger sizes [1]. [1] http://gouthamanbalaraman.com/blog/numpy-vs-pandas-c

   Are there a lot of quants in the US that use QuantLib? I see there is a large community in Europe and Canada. Would like to hear from fellow quants in the US on their experience using QuantLib.

    Well there are work around options to the restriction with SQLAlchemy that you mention here. You can use SQLAlchemy core instead of ORM and write your models independent of web context. Check out https://github.com/gouthamb

    Its not clear to me why you think "PHP is not a very good language for the majority of what we're building". In my opinion, you should have a strong reason for rewriting an application. A good answer strongly depends on that.

    Thanks for the article. It is very illuminating. I hear a lot of buzz on TDD. But I think TDD is not the end. There are complexities in application which is sometimes hard to comprehend before a module is put in place. In those cases DDT (d
