Known weaknesses

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

1. 01

   Steep learning curve for non-JavaScript developers

   API and documentation are heavily focused on JavaScript/Node.js, making it harder to use with other languages.

2. 02

   Limited language support beyond JavaScript

   Primary SDK is in JavaScript, while support for other languages like TypeScript is community-maintained and less robust.

3. 03

   Frequent breaking changes between versions

   Historical updates have included significant API changes that require developers to rewrite migration scripts.

4. 04

   Complex setup for new users

   Initial configuration and setting up the development environment can be time-consuming and error-prone.
