JaneStreet has enough free cash to not worry about those issues. If one of their key persons dies in service, they can go out and contract the worlds leading expert in that domain, and their annualised rate isn’t even a rounding error on their bottom line.

ocaml has excellent compilation speed, and in my experience the code is very maintainable due to the module and type systems.
