RE: Building a Trading Bot from Scratch

I was a web developer for many years, I've ended up having to do complicated things with Javascript. So to discover that there was something like Node.js was a gift from heaven, it meant all of that experience was still useful.

Mind you, after learning and using, PHP, Basic, 68000 Assembly and even 6502 machine code, picking up something new is not beyond me.

The fact that Node.js can even be used to create cross platform desktop and mobile apps is mind blowing.

Will it ever be as fast as C? Naaa... but you will get the job done quickly.

You can always call upon modules written in C if the needed.
