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.
- Gophers: Golang
- Rubyist: Ruby
- Lispers: Lisp
- Schemers: Scheme
- Chamelier: OCaml
- Nixer: Nix lang
- SQL jockeys: SQL
- Purebloods: Haskell
- Ninjas: C++ (more of a reference to LeetCode folks who mix C with C++)
C could be “C-Men”
Has a nice ring to it
/g/ calls them Cniles
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.
Amazing, thank you for this comprehensive list :)
C++ could be Keiths
Diseased rats
Don’t forget rustaceans for rust!
That was given in the original question along with Pythonistas.
Ah, sorry.

Masochists (C++)
BASHers ?
BASHionado ?
BASHist ?
Bashtronaut?
I am a cyberspace bashtronaut …
I really like this one. 🤣
What about people who program in C?
Cniles
C monkies
R - pirates
Perl scripters call ourselves “Superior”
Haha, I always suspected!
Superlior you say? Superl!
Sharp dressed men 😎 (C#)
Please kill me.
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
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?
Heathens.
You’re a god-forsaken heathen for using the wrong language.
Nerds
Dillusionists: Html
PHools?
Missing a P
PHaPpers
Java = Javier
It actually isn’t but I think it should be.
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.
I know Go has gophers
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.
Don’t worry. They’ll change it again next week.
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
Coballers - cobalt
Pascalleros - pascal
Might also work for COBOL.
