The space complexity is ridiculous (at least X^2, possibly 2^n), it isn't
as convenient as any of the others in allowing you to derive your own
specs, it's horribly written code that uses ref and doesn't conform to
OCaml conventions, it caused a lot of crashing on our end, only works for a
particular compile target until I went to update it, the Makefile is an
awful unmaintainable and unreadable mess, the language it defines is
unnecessary and it's hard to get anything to change.
We (me and some team mates) had this forced on us for the features we
required, which was to be able to get data in and out of ocaml to other
languages, and wanted to use it for a large project. It ended up causing a
lot of unnecessary and unwanted slow down in development, both for our
cases and for CMU's BAP. They had the same problems, and everyone that has
touched it had to do unwanted work trying to get it to reliably do what it
advertises.
