While humans have existed in India since prehistoric times, ancient Indian civilization began with the Indus Valley, or Harappan, Civilization around 5000 BCE. During this era, there is evidence of religious practices, early agricultural settlements, and the existence of dozens of towns. This era is followed by the Vedic Period, from 1500 BCE to 500 CE. During this period, the Rig Veda was written (featuring the first references to Shiva in Indian religious literature), Indian civilization expanded to the Ganges valley, and India was divided into sixteen separate states. The late Vedic Period was additionally characterized by conflict over borders and invasion by Huns and Greeks. The Gupta period, which happened within the Vedic Period from 320 CE to 550 CE, is considered a golden age of ancient Indian civilization due to advances in art and architecture. For the following centuries, rule of the Indian civilization was divided by region, and the Buddhist religion spread throughout the region.
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 ...
