Limitations
- The MUF editor is quite primitive and resembles a feature-deficient version of Unix's ED editor. Most MUF programmers write their code in a text editor on their local machine, and upload the code to the server.
- It is quite easy to write entirely unreadable code in MUF.
- MUF's implementation of variable scoping is rudimentary at best.
In addition, MUF includes no mechanism for examining data type at compile time though it may be examined at run time and easily typecast as needed. Given the design of the language that allows a function to legitimately accept many different types of arguments, compile-time typing would be difficult to implement and its usefulness would be questionable.
Despite these limitaitons, MUF has proven to be a very successful and appropriate tool for its intended purposes.

“That all may be so, but when I begin to exercise that power I am not conscious of the power, but only of the limitations imposed on me.”
