Software in general is weightless, unless, of course one prints a hardcopy book of it via a publisher (e.g. MIT Press) and takes it across the border. ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pretty_Good_Privacy#Criminal_investigation ) Yet pretty much every project on github claims to be "lightweight", "fast", etc. Would it hurt to drop "lightweight", "light and fast" etc? Do these adjectives have any meaning really? -- Regards, Dimitri.
