C# vs. Pine Script vs. Python vs. Speedscale Comparison Chart

Pine Script® is TradingView’s programming language. It allows traders to create their own trading tools and run them on our servers. We designed Pine Script® as a lightweight, yet powerful, language for developing indicators and strategies that you can then backtest. Most of TradingView’s built-in indicators are written in Pine Script®, and our thriving community of Pine Script® programmers has published more than 100,000 community scripts. It’s our explicit goal to keep Pine Script® accessible and easy to understand for the broadest possible audience. Pine Script® is cloud-based and therefore different from client-side programming languages. While we likely won’t develop Pine Script® into a full-fledged language, we do constantly improve it and are always happy to consider requests for new features. Because each script uses computational resources in the cloud, we must impose limits in order to share these resources fairly among our users.

Validate the performance and quality of your apps with real-world traffic scenarios. Preview code performance, quickly spot problems, and rest assured your app runs optimally when it’s time to release. Mimic real-life scenarios, test load, and create intelligent simulations of third-party and internal backend systems to better prepare for production. No need to spin up costly new environments each time you test. Built-in autoscaling drives your cloud costs down even further. Bypass complex, homegrown frameworks and manual test scripts so you can ship more code, faster. Be confident that new code changes can handle high-traffic scenarios. Prevent major outages, meet SLAs, and protect the customer experience. Simulate third-party systems and internal backends for more reliable, affordable testing. No need to spin up costly, end-to-end environments that take days to deploy. Seamlessly migrate off legacy architecture without disrupting the customer experience.
