[amibroker] Re: Why are there so few?

["progster01" <progster@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

The discussion so far on "Why so few?" DLLs seems pretty much
on-target to me.

I would add:

Ability to program a non-trivial DLL is a marketable skill that takes
a long time to develop.

There are certainly a number of fine examples of free contribution to
the AB community in the DLL area (e.g. RMath, for one).  

One can only feel gratitude and appreciation for such "above and
beyond" contributions.

However, capable DLL authors have the same 24/7/365 limitations as
everyone else, and must confront a simple choice about how/where to
spend their time and effort: getting paid, or not getting paid.

Since DLL writing is (almost) platform agnostic, DLL writers in the
trading area will have a tendency to code for platforms that provide
built-in support for locking a DLL to a customer or software ID.

I would predict that such "commercializing" integration features would
result in a distinct increase in the number of commercial DLLs
available for AB.
