Known weaknesses

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

1. 01

   Steep learning curve for non-C++ developers

   VIGRA's core is written in C++, which can be challenging for developers unfamiliar with the language.

2. 02

   Limited Python binding maturity and support

   Python bindings are available but may lag behind C++ features, leading to inconsistencies or missing functionalities.

3. 03

   Frequent breaking changes between versions

   Historical updates have included significant API changes that require substantial code refactoring for existing users.

4. 04

   Small and less active community support

   Compared to more popular libraries, VIGRA has a smaller user base which can translate into fewer resources and slower response times for issues and feature requests.

What it does well

• Support for volumes of arbitrary dimensionality

• Cross-platform compatibility

• Python bindings for easy integration
