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

   Primary interface is in C/C++, which may limit accessibility for developers proficient in other languages.

2. 02

   Complex setup process

   Setting up ParaMonte requires a detailed understanding of both the library's architecture and parallel computing concepts, which can be challenging for new users.

3. 03

   Poor documentation

   The official documentation lacks comprehensive examples and explanations, making it difficult for developers to fully utilize ParaMonte's features without extensive trial and error.
