Korze - Another Q Is Being Forged
If you thought the summer of new Q projects was starting to cool down, think again. Unlike the weather in the UK, the Q ecosystem certainly isn’t cooling down. At least, not yet. Following my recent articles on L and PeachQ, another project has emerged from the Q community. This time, it's Korze, a new company created by John Estrada and a small team, with a very ambitious goal: building their own implementation of Q to give clients choice.
And if the name John Estrada sounds familiar, it should.
John was the head of FX Trading at two large investement banks but he isn't exactly a newcomer to the Q world. In fact, previously as a side project, he was one of the first people to document Arthur Whitney's k9 and then Shakti projects, an intriguing attempt to create another implementation of k, the cornerstone to most Q engines. Now, years later, John has decided to take on the challenge of implementation himself. And he's invited the community to have a look.
