After the night of the party at the Capulets' house and Romeo and Juliet's faithful vows of love to one another in the balcony scene, Romeo goes to Friar Lawrence's cell to acquaint his friend and spiritual guide of the developments in his love life and to make marriage arrangements for later that day. When the Friar chastises Romeo for switching his object of love so quickly, Romeo tells Friar Lawrence, "Her I love now / Doth grace for grace and love for love allow. / The other did not so" (II.3.85-87). In other words, one of the biggest ways in which Romeo's love for Juliet differs from his love for Rosaline is that Juliet actually returns his affections, while Rosaline did not. Romeo also says that "[her heart] is set on [his], / And all combined, save what [the Friar] must combine / By holy marriage" (II.3.63-65). Romeo feels he and Juliet are basically already combined in every way that they can be without being married; it only remains for Friar Lawrence to marry them so their commitment can be official.
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 ...
