New conservatism or neoconservatism was a movement centered around a group of liberal intellectuals in New York City in the late 1960's. They were increasingly disillusioned with many of the social and political movements of the 1960's. Intellectuals like Nathan Glazer, James Q. Wilson and Daniel Patrick Moynihan were alarmed by the dramatic and swift move to the left demonstrated in American politics at the time. They opposed the presidential aspirations and campaign of Democrat George McGovern in 1968. Examples of movements that concerned the neocons were the black power movement, college activism, environmentalism, and radical feminism. Neocons opposed the Great Society program of Lyndon B. Johnson and did not support social engineering initiatives like affirmative action and wealth redistribution. Neocons would play important roles in the Republican administrations of Ronald Reagan, George H.W. Bush and George W. Bush.
As a software engineer, I need to sometimes describe a piece of code as something that lacks performance or was not written with performance in mind. Example: This kind of coding style leads to unmaintainable and unperformant code. Based on my Google searches, this isn't a real word. What is the correct way to describe this? EDIT My usage of "performance" here is in regard to speed and efficiency. For example, the better the performance of code the faster the application runs. My question and example target the negative definition, which is in reference to preventing inefficient coding practices. Answer This kind of coding style leads to unmaintainable and unperformant code. In my opinion, reads more easily as: This coding style leads to unmaintainable and poorly performing code. The key to well-written documentation and reports lies in ease of understanding. Adding poorly understood words such as performant decreases that ease. In addressing the use of such a poorly ...
