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.

expr ( @expr@programming.dev ) 3•3 months agoI 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.
Vilian ( @Vilian@lemmy.ca ) 2•3 months agoC++ could be Keiths

“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)
sgibson5150 ( @sgibson5150@slrpnk.net ) 2•3 months agoI’m struggling to understand how this comment relates to anything. Perhaps you could explain what you are attempting to convey?

You’re a god-forsaken heathen for using the wrong language.
folkrav ( @folkrav@lemmy.ca ) 12•3 months agoI know Go has gophers
perishthethought ( @perishthethought@lemm.ee ) English7•3 months agoNothing for JavaScript?
Javascripters, maybe?
Or perhaps JSters (pronounced Jesters)*
*Meant as a turn of phrase and not a criticism of the language.

palordrolap ( @palordrolap@kbin.social ) 4•3 months agoPerl:
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).
