That’s quite impressive, I love this c renaissance! I noticed your project requires c++ compiler as well, I didn’t study it to understand why? Do you plan to keep that requirement?

High frequency trading is far from the only pointless activity software and hardware developers are employed to do. At least in that realm they are pushing the state of the art, unlike presenting ads or yet another crud app.
