For someone doesn't know about programming language may be yes, but how about for IT professional? Especially it also takes very long time to really master an easy language, even thought the name is easy language, but still it takes a lot of codes to do complicated stuff with easy language. Look like easy language only simply the most common stuff that beginners like to try.
Under the alias of j2ee you have been bashing tradelink und AmiBroker. Now it seems you have found a new topic - easy language. As some people say - "A fool is beaten even in a church "
Once you master C it's a lot quicker and easier to get something up and running than in Easy Language.
C is much more complicated than C#/Java and I don't know how can someone takes the advantage of C like memory control for trading except someone is building something for HFT.
Memory control, what? I've written scripts in EZ Lang for Tradestation and scripts in C for Openquant, Ninjatrader and Sierracharts, once I had my wits about me in regard to C it proved far quicker and easier to get things up and running.
C++ and Java are object-oriented. You can import tons of classes with pre-defined variables and thing of that nature. C is much tough in that there is very little room for error in isolating variables and putting them into mathematical equations.
I used "C" to mean C++/C#, should have said "C type stuff". I took a C class once, it was taught by a guy that started in B according to his story. I guess there was a language called B at some point... maybe he was kidding for all I know, I could barely get a print statement to work. Seriously though, I can get something simple done MUCH quicker in C++ in the Sierrachart environs than I can with EZ Language and I have a couple of years with each.
