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.
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?
masochists?
Or perhaps JSters (pronounced Jesters)*
*Meant as a turn of phrase and not a criticism of the language.
Don’t worry. They’ll change it again next week.
Alternatively we could pronounce it Joestars.
Hipsters
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…
Masochists (C++)
What about people who program in C?
Cniles
BASHers ?
BASHionado ?
BASHist ?
Bashtronaut?
I am a cyberspace bashtronaut …
I really like this one. 🤣
SQL: Wizards.
R - pirates
Sharp dressed men 😎 (C#)
Please kill me.
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.”
kill(me); // x_x
You spelled Fin Tech Bros wrong
Pfft I wish. I’m one bad day away from asking people if they want fries with that.
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
japh
script, 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).
- Gophers: Golang
- Rubyist: Ruby
- Lispers: Lisp
- Schemers: Scheme
- Chamelier: OCaml
Don’t forget rustaceans for rust!
That was given in the original question along with Pythonistas.
Ah, sorry.
C could be “C-Men”
Has a nice ring to it
/g/ calls them Cniles
Amazing, thank you for this comprehensive list :)
psssss: Python
Gleamons
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.
C++ could be Keiths
Diseased rats
We Clojurists use Clojure / ClojureScript
Rust: “Rustaceans”
Dillusionists: Html
Lualiens
I’ve heard COBOL devs being referred to in Polish as “koboliści” (I guess you could translate it as “cobolists”)
Coballers - cobalt
Pascalleros - pascal
Nerds
