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.
