I am impressed but how many people is we?
I am interested in the number of man hours to impliment all this and the level of skill of involved. I know that a fix engine is an enormous job but you can go open source or ignore the message retransmission stuff (as so many including myself do) and end up with something you can write in a few days.
I am aguing that with Fast Fix the most complex part of an algo traging platform is the data parsing and that should not and need not be the case. I can see vendors saying this is far too complicated lets just start again with a simple comma separated text format that does not have the verbosity of fix (or the message sequence numbers and body lenght and checksum that are no longer needed in these modern socket connection days) and anyone can parse with a modicum of programming skills.
