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.

“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)
“The limitations of pleasure cannot be overcome by more pleasure.”
