I agree, wagyu beef is typically more expensive and richer in flavour than regular beef. The lightweight analogy doesn't really match that... Maybe there's another reason for the name

  The company is called Argus, which is very similar to Angus. I guess that could explain the relation to beef

    Should've called this thing Vagyu, Magyu or some such then. The existing name is weird and not fitting at all though, that's for sure.

  Well, it’s more expensive so people typically order smaller than usual cuts.

Lightweight in software is a weird adjective. I used to assume it meant light on resources but after seeing what passes for "lightweight" I've disabused myself of that notion. Instead, I've seen it mean any of the following: not-much-ceremony-to-use (e.g. https://github.com/emilk/loguru https://github.com/emilk/loguru) small amount of code but huge number of dependencies (e.g. micromodal https://github.com/ghosh/Micromodal/blob/master/yarn.lock https://github.com/ghosh/Micromodal/blob/master/yarn.lock ) But the common denominator appears to mean "feature incomplete".

  Yeah, VS Code is considered "lightweight" by some. The world has gone crazy behind our backs. >Visual Studio Code is a lightweight but powerful source code editor ... https://code.visualstudio.com/docs https://code.visualstudio.com/docs

    Have you used "Visual Studio"?... it's all a matter of perspective...

      Feature incomplete does describe VSCode well when compared to Visual Studio, but calling it lightweight is facetious. Visual Studio might be an absolute sow when it comes to eating your resources, but VSCode really doesn't improve in that area.

        What is VSCode missing for you to call it incomplete?

      Or one of IntelliJ's editors? I think most take lightweight to mean "runs fast without making the computer get to hot or slowing down other programs."
