The Battle of Normandy, which began with the Anglo-American assault on the Normandy coast on June 6, 1944 (D-Day), was significant because it marked the opening of the Western front in Europe. Nazi Germany, which previously had to contend only with the Soviet Union in the East (and, to a far lesser extent, the United States in Italy) was forced to fight a two-front war. After establishing a beachhead on D-Day, the Allies drove fairly quickly through northern France, liberating Paris. After a daring and massive German counterattack was driven back in the Battle of the Bulge in late 1944 and early 1945, Germany was permanently placed on the defensive. The Normandy invasion thus marked not only a major turning point in the war, but a real death blow to Germany, which faced invading armies from the east and the west.
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 ...
