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.
Heathens.
You’re a god-forsaken heathen for using the wrong language.
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.
As a junior dev, who mainly works with C#, wf improvements are they talking about? I always thought that C++ is way better for when performance is important, like in emulation. At my company, the seniors keep talking about how we should move away form .NET to C++.

Usually some excuse about being more accessible from someone that just doesn’t want to leave their own comfort zone - non professionals playing at being professional after coming across our github. See also: complaints about not having an installer download (strictly clone and build)
Perl scripters call ourselves “Superior”
Superlior you say? Superl!
Haha, I always suspected!

C could be “C-Men”
Has a nice ring to it
/g/ calls them Cniles
Don’t forget rustaceans for rust!
That was given in the original question along with Pythonistas.
Ah, sorry.
Amazing, thank you for this comprehensive list :)
C++ could be Keiths
Diseased rats
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.

psssss: Python
Sharp dressed men 😎 (C#)
Please kill me.
kill(me); // x_xI believe you meant “Pound dressed men” https://thedailywtf.com/articles/5_years_C-pound_experience
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.

I’m struggling to understand how this comment relates to anything. Perhaps you could explain what you are attempting to convey?
You spelled Fin Tech Bros wrong
Pfft I wish. I’m one bad day away from asking people if they want fries with that.
