From the overview document:

> Microsoft Power Fx is the low-code language that will be used across the Microsoft Power Platform.

The emphasized part above is all you need to know to understand that Microsoft Power Fx is NOT a low-code general purpose programming language, as is mistakenly stated in the README document. It might be general purpose in the Power Apps context, but it's a moot point from the larger perspective. Generally, Microsoft Power Platform and, thus, its subset Power Apps, present a much stronger lock-in risk than Azure and some other products and services.



From the readme:

> We are in the process of extracting the language from that product so that we can use it in more Microsoft Power Platform products and make it available here for you to use. That's going to take some time and we will report on our progress here and on the Power Apps blog.


I have seen that part. But it does not mean that the language will be feasible to use outside Microsoft Power Platform.
