C++ Secret vendor and open source libraries potentially used for HFT environments thanks to this Barclays Bank presentation video

Erlang from Barclays Bank Go Big video with weaknesses including potential RDMA open source solution
NOTES: My path of tech choices is very useful with C++/C backend with Matlab/Simulink trade idea generation into an analytics trading system. NOSQL still useful. These are all part of my Elite learning service.

Stats on languages for HFT trading environment job wise:
C++ 70% of hft software 25 % java but heavy garbage collection tuning so it might be turn off to focus on that 5% to function programming languages
All Linux based
More hft going to fpga for enormous performance boost
Simulink never mentioned for c translation to vhdl but we are in right track
Maxeller was highlighted
Linux Jitter was mentioned:
He kept mentioning jitter in Linux is problem to get lowest latency, using Java with garbage collection does not help
