Both frontarena and murex use python as their “vb” kind of language. If you thought your deployment pipelines were weird, ours have included putting entire python apps into single strings and inserting them to an oracle db, where a fat windows client selects them and runs them on a windows python interpreter … via citrix… :/
This reminds me of an e-commerce system which stored data in a mixture of Oracle, and text files on the local disk. We handled backups by loading the text files into blob columns in the database, and then just backing up the database.
This made me laugh out loud. Technology is awesome.
