Python

In recent years Python has rapidly become a staple in thequantitative finance world.

I personally know ofmany funds that employ it as the end-to-endcomputational infrastructure for carrying out systematic trading.

It is an easy languageto learn, but it is harder to master, because it has many useful libraries.Regardless of which type of quant you wish to become, I would suggest learning Python, as it is only going to becomemore widely adopted as time goes on.
