We use Node for reporting but not as part of our main signal generating trading system. To be honest the answer will almost certainly be yes for every common programming technology as it just takes one person to use it somewhere to make the answer yes.

It's really more of a test statistic than a Z-score per se. The denominator in their formula ...
