I had a pretty good Perl interface written for the TD Ameritrade API quite a few years ago, it was right when they launched it. The test suite used their historical data as fixtures. I got sidetracked with a new job and home life. Let it slide. Peeked at it about 2 months ago. They changed the interface. Haven’t dug into whether my code is retrievable; or garbage because that was when I was just becoming a halfway decent hacker. Took a couple simple passes at https://developer.tradier.com/ a few days ago. Again, time is the problem. It’s sad (for me) too because I had a scalping algorithm, based on some Perl statistics modules, that was working extremely well on historical data.

Medical. I would love to see the DCMTK get a module family like the libxml2 stuff. I have taken some weak runs at it. I have zero XS chops and had no trouble wrapping up the command line tools I needed with Capture::Tiny and such so… A MeSH installer, license manager, and tool suite to go with UMLS::Similarity but make it all easy; if it could be tied in with ICD-10 and if there were a solid HL-7 distribution, Perl would probably become the backbone of choice for a few different kinds of medical applications.

I started what I think is a nice piece of code for Coinbase which I played with during Coinbase API. Trouble there was their docs suck and I had no energy to pursue it. I think I may be taking the Lazy dictum wrongly these days. :P
