The Reign of Terror in Revolutionary France, also known as Le Terreur, refers to the violent period in Revolutionary France in which revolutionaries performed mass executions. These executions were performed by guillotine and claimed the lives of many members of the French nobility and monarchy, including King Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette, as well as those who rebelled against revolutionaries. One cause of the Reign of Terror may have been public anger at the failures of the revolution, which failed to provide the levels of socioeconomic quality some revolutionaries and peasants had hoped for. Another reason for the violence in this era may have been social control in an unstable era of potential international and civil wars. The guillotine was deployed not only against the French bourgoisie but also those labeled as counter-revolutionaries and those who rebelled against the militant Jacobin Committee of Public Safety. These interpretations vary based on whether the French proletariat or the Jacobin delegates were held responsible for the level of violence.
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 ...
