Overall Satisfaction with kdb+
kdb+ is very useful in the trading world as it allows analysts to look at huge amounts of data quickly and somewhat easily. Speed was a huge factor.
- Efficient computing.
- Code interpretation is fast.
- Designed with finance in mind.
- The language is difficult to learn.
- Better solutions are needed for breaking loops without resetting servers.
- Include basic templates for fields such as finance, medicine, etc.
- Increases the speed of the research process.
- Allows for quick analysis and results.
- Rapid implementation of new ideas.
Python is very commonly used for large data analysis and in general is much easier to pickup than kdb+. The biggest drawback of kdb+ is the learning curve.
