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.

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.

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)

You’re a god-forsaken heathen for using the wrong language.

Nothing for JavaScript?
Javascripters, maybe?
Or perhaps JSters (pronounced Jesters)*
*Meant as a turn of phrase and not a criticism of the language.

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).
