Known weaknesses

Each one links to the public issue, changelog or docs page it came from, where we have one.

1. 01

   Limited language support beyond Lua and Python

   The plugin is primarily developed for use with Lua and Python, which may limit its utility for developers working in other languages.

   Dependence on external API stability (ChatGPT)

   Performance and availability are contingent upon the reliability of ChatGPT's API, over which the plugin has no control.

3. 03

   Complex setup process for first-time users

   The documentation assumes a certain level of familiarity with Neovim configuration and Lua scripting, potentially complicating initial setup.

4. 04

   Potential privacy concerns with code sharing to ChatGPT

   Sending code snippets to an external service for analysis may raise security and confidentiality issues for some users.
