  1. i also made a Chip-8 emulator. it's a lot of fun. but i don't think that writing an emulator is a good way to learn a new programming language. as typically it involves all kinds of hacks and you can ignore most of the language and how it was "meant to be used". but it can certainly deepen the understanding of some language features and Assembly language

  2. the argument about financial institutions doing high frequency trading and needing millisecond response times, is probably fine for C++. but the thing is that not everyone doing trading, does high frequency trading

  3. the immediate problem with C++ is not so much the complexity, but the stagnant ecosystem. as you pointed out the tools suck. so much of the new cool stuff is not being made in C++. the complexity is probably ultimately to blame for this though. but i agree that it's useful to know about the memory management concepts

  4.  @yihan4835  what is ns level? admittedly i don't know, what percentage algorithmic trading is high frequency trading
