Fast C++ is an oxymoron. Real men use C and assembly. And yes, I bootstrapped my own HFT

  "And yes, I bootstrapped my own HFT" I would be interested in hearing your story. Would you like to share some details?

    Realized this would be a much larger effort than a single HN reply or a single blog post would justify, so I am starting a blog series on this. First post: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2829116 http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2829116

      Thanks! The first post left me hungry for more :D

  Would love to hear more about what's involved on bootstrapping an HFT house.

  When you're doing performance optimization, C++ is basically C. You restrict yourself to an almost C subset and maybe end up doing some clever stuff with templates.
