Limitations
- AutoIt is single threaded which makes asynchronous programming, concurrency and parallelism (e.g. communications applications) extremely difficult.
(This can be worked around through the use of such things as multiple processes, Component Object Model, etc., but it would be much less onerous if a multithreading API was provided for use within the language itself or its libraries.)
- AutoIt applications sometimes get a false positive report from virus scanners using heuristics, because the application is a self extracting executable.

Famous quotes containing the word limitations:
“No man could bring himself to reveal his true character, and, above all, his true limitations as a citizen and a Christian, his true meannesses, his true imbecilities, to his friends, or even to his wife. Honest autobiography is therefore a contradiction in terms: the moment a man considers himself, even in petto, he tries to gild and fresco himself.”
—H.L. (Henry Lewis)
“Growing up means letting go of the dearest megalomaniacal dreams of our childhood. Growing up means knowing they can’t be fulfilled. Growing up means gaining the wisdom and skills to get what we want within the limitations imposed by reality—a reality which consists of diminished powers, restricted freedoms and, with the people we love, imperfect connections.”
—Judith Viorst (20th century)
“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.”
—William Howard Taft (1857–1930)
