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

   Mamba is primarily built for the Julia programming environment, which can be a barrier for developers familiar with other languages.

2. 02

   Complex setup process

   Setting up Mamba requires familiarity with Julia's package manager and ecosystem, which may pose challenges to new users.

3. 03

   Small community and limited support

   As an open-source project focused on a niche area within the smaller Julia language community, Mamba has a relatively small user base and fewer resources for troubleshooting or feature requests.

What it does well

• Support for various MCMC algorithms including Metropolis-Hastings and Gibbs sampling.

• Flexible model specification allowing users to define complex Bayesian models.

• Efficient computation leveraging Julia's performance capabilities.

• Comprehensive documentation and examples for ease of use.
