Nice article. Thank you. Btw they have a great podcast 
https://signalsandthreads.com/ - there are also many interesting 
things from JS members.
Jane Street is well known trading firm. But I think we have here 
chicken-egg problem) "importance of OCaml in its success".. or 
their success is important for the OCaml ecosystem? :)
The idea about choosing such language is not new. Paul Graham 
with his posts about Lisp even mentioned in the article. But 
first of all there are should be people, who will be smarter than 
others.

And now you found out what is Symmetry :) But I think D is not a 
big deal in that specific case of Jane Street.. And probably 
that's why Symmetry is making SIL. The idea of OCaml for Jane 
Street is type system. D just doesn't have this "feature".
