Editing Draft:LMQL (section)

== Critiques and Limitations ==
Although LMQL initially attracted significant interest—Ampdot reportedly "loved LMQL when it first dropped" and even considered porting [[Chapter II]] to it—several limitations have since been identified from an Ampmesh perspective:

* '''Bugginess''': Stability concerns were encountered during early experimentation.
* '''Lack of fast inference integration''': LMQL does not interface efficiently with modern [[Large Language Models|LLMs]] for high-speed inference.
* '''Specialization''': The language appears tailored to narrow or fixed workflows, limiting its flexibility for general-purpose em development.
* '''Outdated parsing approach''': LMQL does not incorporate well-established ideas about '''lexing and parsing''' developed in the 20th century.
* '''Poor abstraction handling''': It fails to '''distinguish between text concretions and the abstract syntax trees (ASTs) they represent''', drawing a comparison to the limitations of a C preprocessor.
* '''Theoretical limitations''': There are concerns that LMQL is '''not expressive enough on the Chomsky hierarchy''' to meet Ampmesh's needs.

These critiques emphasize where LMQL diverges from Ampmesh’s broader goals: building a maximally general, deeply interpretable, and agile framework for constructing and managing [[Emulated Mind|emulated minds]].
