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.

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.

I had a college professor who called it “C hash”, so I’m inclined to name them “Hashers.”

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?
