Bloomberg had a history of inventing their own stuff going back to the first terminals. They had their own networking protocols and everything, when I was last there you could still see remnants in how machines were named.

They do adopt a lot of industry stuff, but it is always heavily modified. And of course they love “Invented Here” as a corporate tradition going all the way back to the beginning.

It’s actually nice from a developer perspective, the R&D group is highly valued by management.
