Fine, but I’m still not happy about ‘performant’
Is there a better adjective you prefer to use to describe something that performs well?
Efficient and effective
Performant seems like a good word to use when you don’t want to admit the performance was poor
I would probably say fast, efficient, high-performance, or optimal, depending on context. Or just “it performs well”. But I recognise I’m in the vast minority - just one of those new words that bugs me now but I’ll eventually accept
