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. (

)

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?
