   i mean full programming language has yet to prove an advantage over
   scripting languages when it comes to profitability in trading.  more
   difficult does not mean more money.

Yes, I'm surprised they didn't embed a perl engine.  Perl is fairly
readable, has a huge library of modules capable of doing anything a
"full programming language" might.  I've seen many queries on this
list for abilities that exist in CPAN (the perl archive) and have
wondered why various trading platforms have missed a cheap way to
provide services to the trader beyond anything else on the market
today.

"more money' comes from being able to adapt, adapting is fast when a
trader can draw upon a large selection of building blocks and put them
together fast.  Making new perl routines has always been fast for me,
even when I was first starting out.
