Yes I can, but why would I spend the time adapting my trading engine to process someone else's data? Seems like I'd be providing free R&D.

Also, kind of funny that C/C++ are not listed in the application form.

A data streaming engine in C/C++ would be very interesting. We have started in Java, but there might be parts it would make sense to write in C++ .

The challenge is not for others to write a data streaming engine to give to us. The challenge is for us to write a data streaming engine and give to you! ... but if you want to try beating the 1BRS milestone too - that would be fun too :-)

Their current engine is written in Java so you could just wait until their engine gets to 100m and port it to C++ to win

Exactly ;-)
