Perhaps the word 'limitations' might be more appropriate than 'weaknesses'?
A 'weakness' implies some kind of flaw, whereas a limitation is something the language wasn't specifically designed to do or specialise in.
- scott_s 15y agoI think weakness is appropriate. For example, I love Python. But I only use it for automating system tasks and data post-processing. It just doesn't perform well enough for me to use it as part of the infrastructure in a high-performance system. I do consider that a flaw; it is a weakness. It is also a limitation, but when given a choice between synonyms, I prefer the stronger one.
