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.

Famous quotes containing the word limitations:
“... art transcends its limitations only by staying within them.”
—Flannery O’Connor (1925–1964)
“To note an artist’s limitations is but to define his talent. A reporter can write equally well about everything that is presented to his view, but a creative writer can do his best only with what lies within the range and character of his deepest sympathies.”
—Willa Cather (1876–1947)
“Much of what contrives to create critical moments in parenting stems from a fundamental misunderstanding as to what the child is capable of at any given age. If a parent misjudges a child’s limitations as well as his own abilities, the potential exists for unreasonable expectations, frustration, disappointment and an unrealistic belief that what the child really needs is to be punished.”
—Lawrence Balter (20th century)
