</div>Not in general, nope. For some platforms (e.g. Windows), we tend to<br>
ship builtin versions for a number of platform libraries, so that<br>
would work with openmama, too. I see the website claims windows<br>
support. There is a slight catch though with the license, it is<br>
possible that the odd AppStore ToS here or there would prevent<br>
shipping of LGPL-licensed code.<br>

</div>For highspeed traders, clearly an in-core C++ implementation would be<br>
best. Dunno what you're targetting here. Everybody else would prolly<br>
be fine with an extension (in whatever language), I'm relatively<br>
certain network latencies will dominate in this game. ;)<br>
