And you point is what? Pascal is faster than C#? You are kidding me right?
There is no need to cry about Pascal and Delhi and Super Pascal, Super
Dupper Basic or C++. Last time I checked you couldn't use them in Powerful
Power Editor anyways! Last I heard they were making a section in London Pre
Historic Museum to display these technological monuments.
By the you guys, I am gonna ask ya all a very personal question, don't
answer if its too embarrassing, are still using windows 95? And hating
Microsoft?
We are talking about EL being faster than C#. We are talking about which
language will give you the greatest flexibility given the base platform
offers the same features and functionality.
Who care if C++ is faster or not, you cant code in C++ in Tradestation
anyways.
And for C#:
1. This is very flexible and very powerful language integrated with your OS.
In C# you can implement layers for any application domain you want and its
easy to support and extend.
2. You can implement any data structures you want. The only limitation is
your imagination and creativity, and no longer you are suffocated by limited
capability of EL and you DON'T need to use external DLLS to implement a
simple tasks which Pascal or EL where never designed to carryout.
3. If you want something new in EL, that's not supported by Omega what will
to do? In C# you can easily and quickly implement your ideas or hire from a
pool of millions of developers C# programmers who can help you.
The average cost of C# programmer is about $35 per hours and lower if you go
offshore! Now compare that to the $175 per hour you have to pay for the
snoby EL programmers most of them are not qualified and type with 2 fingers.
4. Speed? Speed of C# faster than EL. PERIOD. I have a conducted lot of
experiments in this area - and C# really faster on all stages of processing
of data. AS I said who care if C# is little slower than c++, that's
irrelevant here. An optimization run in c# takes about 1/5 of the time it
takes EL! And no I am not using a genetic optimizer addon of a addon to run
along EL which is yet another addon! Add all the addons together in
Tradestation and you will know what I mean!!
5. Also you have the entire Microsoft team working for you. As .Net is just
starting mature, it will get faster. As I said already .Net 2.0 is about 30%
faster than currently implementation.
6. I am bored.
7. Regards,
R

Subject: Re: Advanced Trading Platform using C#.Net
I guess someone needs to come to the defense of Pascal and I guess that
someone will be me. Delphi uses Object Pascal which is a modern object
oriented language just as C++ is an object oriented version of C.
Easylanguage is just a very high level scripting language.
FWIW, the problem with C# is that it sits on top of an additional
abstraction layer - the "Dot net framework". This is conceptually similar
to how java sits on top of an additional abstraction layer - the "java
virtual machine". When you run on the Windows platform, both of these
abstraction layers sit on top of the "win32". Object Pascal, C++, C and VB6
sit directly on top of the win32.
Anytime you add an additional abstraction layer you get something and you
give-up something. With java you gain platform independence. With the Dot
net framework you gain language independence. When you write to the Dot net
framework you can write in C# or VB.net or C++.net and the resulting
intermediate code is virtually identical.
What you always give-up with additional abstraction layers is performance.
Whether that performance hit is acceptable depends on the application. For
typical business applications it's probably hardly noticeable. But you
won't see serious first person shooter games written in a dot net language
any time soon.
