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.

    PHP stands for “PHP Hypertext Processor”. The PHP in that stands for “PHP Hypertext Processor”. This pattern repeats infinitely.
