Known weaknesses

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

1. 01

   Limited community and support

   Gonum/mat, while open source, has a relatively small user base which can lead to slower response times for issues and less comprehensive documentation.

2. 02

   Performance limitations with large datasets

   While Gonum/mat is efficient for many operations, it may not be optimized for very large matrices or high-performance computing scenarios compared to specialized libraries like BLAS/LAPACK.

3. 03

   Complex setup and dependency management

   Setting up the environment with Gonum/mat can involve managing multiple Go dependencies, which may be cumbersome for developers not familiar with Go's module system.

What it does well

• Efficient matrix and vector operations

• Support for dense and sparse matrices

• Linear algebra functions including eigenvalues, QR decomposition
