I worked on Athena at JPMorgan for 8 years, and loved it.
Seeing Python at the core of trading, risk and post-trade processing for Commodities, FX, Credit etc was such a great developer experience.
By the time I left JPM, there were 4500 devs globally making 20k commits weekly into the Athena codebase. (I did a PyData presentation on this [1] for more details).
The one downside was the delayed transition from Py2.7 to 3; I left just as that was getting underway.
That's funny they mentioned replayable financial message queues. Those are a hit here
