Yes, it is, there's a translation table for xooglers too: https://github.com/jhuangtw/xg2xg

The only real difference there (although it is a significant one) is that most of those internal Google tools tended to be very good, often ahead of the external state-of-the-art. That's a very different feeling to a baroque old stack inside a bank somewhere. Maybe the external world has caught up on a bunch of them more recently though which would start to change that.

I suppose it depends what you're optimizing for, but this Bank Python looks like it would be great for enabling productivity in a consistent shared environment with minimal setup required for devs. This looks far better than setting up jupyter notebooks, installing all kinds of pypi dependencies, etc. whatever the equivalent on the outside would be.
