One example of this sort of limitation is that BGT will only allow for the reading of string data types from a file and nothing else. For example, if you tell BGT to output a series of numbers into a text file, it does this just fine, but if you try to read those numbers back into a piece of code as integers, i.e. assigning the values to an integer data type, BGT kicks back an error. Of course, there is a work-around for this, but you have to use the string conversion functions to convert a string data type to an integer data type. This is an odd limitation, considering that the other programming languages I've worked with in the past do not have this problem.
Another example of a limitation for BGT is data validation. If you were to have the user input a number, there is no built-in functionality for the input box function to perform data validation. Again, there are work-arounds for this, but this ought to have been something that is a part of the input box function. I freely admit that I could be wrong concerning both of these examples.
