I’ve heard of Pythonistas and Rustaceans. What are some of the other names given to devs writing in, for example, PHP or C++. Appreciate any answers - both serious and joking.

I definitely associate “ninja” with wannabe JavaScript developers.
Pureblood is pretty funny, though of course we actually use Haskellers. Honorable mention goes to “Haskellnaut” to (playfully) describe taking the language as far as it can go.
psssss: Python
C++ could be Keiths
Diseased rats
C could be “C-Men”
Has a nice ring to it
/g/ calls them Cniles
Amazing, thank you for this comprehensive list :)
Gleamons
Don’t forget rustaceans for rust!
That was given in the original question along with Pythonistas.
Ah, sorry.
SQL: Wizards.
R - pirates
Coballers - cobalt
Pascalleros - pascal
Java = Javier
It actually isn’t but I think it should be.
Lualiens
Nerds
We Clojurists use Clojure / ClojureScript
Ansiblings for Ansible (yes, I know this isn’t a programming language)
I’m under the impression that ansible is Turing complete.
I’m not sure. It just might be if you count all the things that you can do with Jinja2, but I really hope it’s not.
I just want these damn vagrants off my lawn… I wouldn’t really mind if the delicious smells from their chefs wasn’t a constant distraction.
I mean all technology terms welcome, I didn’t consider them before. I don’t know if Kubernaughts is the right term for K8s practicioners but I suspect it should be.
Terrans for Terraform? Vegans for OpenTOFU?
Vegans for OpenTofu brought a smile to my face immediately, I shall hopefully remember to use this when it comes up.
Heathens.
You’re a god-forsaken heathen for using the wrong language.
C#itheads - those are the guys that show up to the emulation project I work on insisting we would drastically improve by nuclear rewriting millions of lines of code into c# (or another lamguage occasionaly).
It’s a 20ish yrs old c++ program, we’re never doing it but someone will show up trying to push the topic evert couple of months.
As a junior dev, who mainly works with C#, wf improvements are they talking about? I always thought that C++ is way better for when performance is important, like in emulation. At my company, the seniors keep talking about how we should move away form .NET to C++.
Usually some excuse about being more accessible from someone that just doesn’t want to leave their own comfort zone - non professionals playing at being professional after coming across our github. See also: complaints about not having an installer download (strictly clone and build)
C# can have native performance, if you sit down and really optimize shit until you go mad, you can have absolutely minimal runtime friction. The .Net runtime despite it’s stupid fucking name from a bygone era is actually really smart with code gen.
This of course depends on the code, project and your own skill level
Sharp dressed men 😎 (C#)
Please kill me.
kill(me); // x_xYou spelled Fin Tech Bros wrong
Pfft I wish. I’m one bad day away from asking people if they want fries with that.
I believe you meant “Pound dressed men” https://thedailywtf.com/articles/5_years_C-pound_experience
I had a college professor who called it “C hash”, so I’m inclined to name them “Hashers.”
😆
Here, carry this big beam. It won’t be long now if you stay the course.
“And he said to them all, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow me.” (Luke 9:23)
“For if ye live after the flesh, ye shall die: but if ye through the Spirit do mortify the deeds of the body, ye shall live.” (Romans 8:13)
“I protest by your rejoicing which I have in Christ Jesus our LORD, I die daily.” (1 Corinthians 15:31)
I’m struggling to understand how this comment relates to anything. Perhaps you could explain what you are attempting to convey?
Perl:
Just another Perl hacker,(sic)This was coined by Randall Schwartz on Usenet a very long time ago. The comma has become part of it despite it originally being necessary for the English sentence it first appeared in.
Part of being a Perl aficionado is to write a
japhscript, that is a Perl script that prints out the above line, comma and all. The more obfuscated it is, the better. Another part is to not write code like that in production, at least not without comments explained what the heck the symbol soup is doing.“(Perl) Wizard” has been applied to those who are notably proficient, thought that’s usually a title bestowed by others.
The self-deprecating alternative is “funny character(s)” for both the symbols that appear all over Perl code as well as those who use them (I think this one was coined by Perl creator Larry Wall himself).
Nothing for JavaScript?
Javascripters, maybe?
Hipsters
masochists?
Or perhaps JSters (pronounced Jesters)*
*Meant as a turn of phrase and not a criticism of the language.
Alternatively we could pronounce it Joestars.
Don’t worry. They’ll change it again next week.
Can we just call you all jason because javascript has json
This seems like a potential infinite loop because Jason has JavaScript which has JSON which has…
Perl scripters call ourselves “Superior”
Superlior you say? Superl!
Haha, I always suspected!
