# Limitations

The philosophy of mruby is to be a lightweight implementation of
the Ruby ISO standard. These two objectives are partially contradicting
due to the reason that Ruby is a powerful language with complex
implementation details which are difficult to implement in a lightweight
manner.

This document is collecting these limitations.

## Integrity

## Confirmed limitations

### ```Array``` passed to ```puts```

a rescue clause.

rescue
  raise
end
```
