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.

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 😉
