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?

Hi Dimitri,
"lightweight" has a meaning: "of light weight" :)
But, granted, it may be dropped since, as you said, the word is overused
to the extent that became meaningless.

Thanks,
Tomasz
