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 JavaScript

    Primary development and ecosystem are centered around JavaScript, making it less accessible for developers working in other languages.

  2. 02

    Poor documentation for advanced features

    The official documentation is lacking detailed examples and explanations for more complex functionalities, leading to a steep learning curve for new users.

  3. 03

    Performance degradation with large-scale applications

    fastHTML's performance significantly drops when handling large datasets or complex HTML structures, making it less suitable for enterprise-level projects.
