There is a popular legend that the king of Denmark, Christian X wore a yellow Star of David badge to demonstrate his support of the Jews in his country. While this is probably the material of legend, the story demonstrates the staunch support that the Danish-Jewish population enjoyed during the reign of Christian.

The police in Denmark were also used to protect synagogues and Jewish property. When orders came from Hitler to deport the Jews in 1943, the task was made nearly impossible by an organized resistance movement in Denmark.
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 ...
