I always wonder when people choose to use the word peformant if that’s what they really wanted to say. I mean it’s good that the grid works well enough to be considered functional, but is that really what they were shooting for? I suspect they meant to say fast or maybe fast and small.
- weird-eye-issue 4y agoSo your position is that they should have said "fast and small" instead of "performant"? I just want to make sure I understood you correctly.
- lalopalota 4y ago> Performant means that something is working correctly or well enough to be considered functional. In a technology context, this term is believed to have originated with programmers seeking a concise word to express that a system or program will work, but may not yet be optimal. https://www.techopedia.com/definition/28231/performant https://www.techopedia.com/definition/28231/performant
- jdale27 4y agoThat's interesting. While that seems to be consistent with other definitions online, in my experience most software developers use the word as a synonym for "fast" or "efficient".
- criddell 4y agoOnly if that's what they were trying to say. Merely performant is good, but not that interesting.
