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

   Stemmer is specifically designed for the English language using the Porter2 algorithm, which limits its utility in multilingual projects.

2. 02

   Complex setup for non-Elixir environments

   Integration with other languages or frameworks may require additional work to set up and maintain due to Elixir's unique ecosystem and dependencies.

3. 03

   Small community and support base

   As an open-source tool focused on a niche language (Elixir), Stemmer might have limited user contributions, bug fixes, and documentation updates compared to more popular tools.
