They are certainly faster than interpreted Python, but slower than C-like languages due to their additional overhead in data structures.

You realize a whole lot its almost tough to argue
with you (not that I personally will need to…HaHa).
You definitely put a brand new spin on a subject which
has been written about for decades. Great stuff, just excellent!

You can find a list in the Zorro manual.

I download it and tried it as well as its website. It’s all weird. It seems pretty fast but buggy. If you want to trade seriously you have to buy some license ( no problem ) but according to my targets working with IB, it doesn’t apply. I don’t know, I don’t trust it to put any logic in there.

it’s amazing article.

Luckily now, there’s more room to use the software tools with which you are most comfortable. For example, on Python you can run on PyPy or Cython (which speeds scripts up to C/C++ levels). There is also a wide array of packages for statistical analysis, financial modelling and artificial intelligence usage.

All this comes in handy when you can leverage on your proficiency to write fine trading systems quickly with what you. Which beats learning a new language altogether!
