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.

C could be “C-Men”
Has a nice ring to it
/g/ calls them Cniles
psssss: Python
Gleamons
Amazing, thank you for this comprehensive list :)
Don’t forget rustaceans for rust!
That was given in the original question along with Pythonistas.
Ah, sorry.
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.
perl hackers: Perl
C++ could be Keiths
Masochists (C++)
BASHers ?
BASHionado ?
BASHist ?
Bashtronaut?
I really like this one. 🤣
What about people who program in C?
Cniles
R - pirates
Perl scripters call ourselves “Superior”
Haha, I always suspected!
Sharp dressed men 😎 (C#)
Please kill me.
I believe you meant “Pound dressed men” https://thedailywtf.com/articles/5_years_C-pound_experience
😆
You spelled Fin Tech Bros wrong
Pfft I wish. I’m one bad day away from asking people if they want fries with that.
kill(me); // x_x
Dillusionists: Html
Nerds
PHools?
Missing a P
PHaPpers
It got lost in PHP’s infinite recursion initials
I don’t know know you’re talking $$$$$about
PHP stands for “PHP Hypertext Processor”. The PHP in that stands for “PHP Hypertext Processor”. This pattern repeats infinitely.

And in a slightly different way: I’m So Meta Even This Acronym (ISMETA)
Personal Home Pagers ™
Ah, yeah, I knew that at one point. I find recursive acronyms so tacky I tend to tune that information out lol.
Our mascot is the Elephpant and I like to think PHP developers are also Elephpants.
Is it pronounced “eleph pants”?
Yea, but you run it together awkwardly.
Heathens.
You’re a god-forsaken heathen for using the wrong language.
I know Go has gophers
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 language occasionaly).
It’s a 20ish yrs old c++ program, we’re never doing it but someone will show up trying to push the topic every 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
SQL: Wizards.
Haskellers for Haskell.
what about Huskies?
Some of us aren’t as husky as we would like to be; others are trying to be less husky. Presumably some of us are happy with ourselves, though I’m yet to meet them 😅
Jokes aside, we are all lovely people who just want to sit you down, make you a cup of tea, and convince you that good code does nothing and object-oriented programming is evil 😉
Nothing for JavaScript?
Javascripters, maybe?
Or perhaps JSters (pronounced Jesters)*
*Meant as a turn of phrase and not a criticism of the language.
Alternatively we could pronounce it Joestars.
masochists?
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…
Hipsters
Ansiblings for Ansible (yes, I know this isn’t a programming language)
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.
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.
