Abstract
C++ is an expressive language that can be used to develop some of the most sophisticated software, including the high-performance applications that are routinely used in banks and other financial institutions. However, it is sometimes beneficial to combine and extend C++ libraries using interpreted languages that can simplify the creation of prototypes and other noncritical applications. A number of such interpreted languages are used for the purpose of connecting pre-compiled libraries. Among them, Python and Lua are among the most common interpreted languages employed in the financial industry.
