👉 Bloat, in computer science and software engineering terms, is a process by which an application or program becomes significantly larger than necessary for its intended purpose. This can occur due to several reasons such as increased usage of memory, CPU resources, or additional system resources. In programming languages like Python, the term "bloat" refers to the increase in size of code relative to the original size of the program. It is often used to describe large files that are being loaded into a computer's RAM.
