Sharp dressed men 😎 (C#)
Please kill me.
I believe you meant "Pound dressed men" https://thedailywtf.com/articles/5_years_C-pound_experience

Heathens.
You're a god-forsaken heathen for using the wrong language.
Dillusionists: Html
PHools?
Missing a P
It got lost in PHP's infinite recursion initials
Our mascot is the Elephpant and I like to think PHP developers are also Elephpants.
Nerds
Java = Javier
It actually isn't but I think it should be.
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)
I know Go has gophers
SQL: Wizards.
Ansiblings for Ansible (yes, I know this isn't a programming language)
I just want these damn vagrants off my lawn... I wouldn't really mind if the delicious smells from their chefs wasn't a constant distraction.
Nothing for JavaScript?
Javascripters, maybe?
Or perhaps JSters (pronounced Jesters)*
*Meant as a turn of phrase and not a criticism of the language.
Don't worry. They'll change it again next week.
Alternatively we could pronounce it Joestars.

We Clojurists use Clojure / ClojureScript
Perl:
Just another Perl hacker, (sic)
This was coined by Randall Schwartz on Usenet a very long time ago. The comma has become part of it despite it originally being necessary for the English sentence it first appeared in.
Part of being a Perl aficionado is to write a japh script, that is a Perl script that prints out the above line, comma and all. The more obfuscated it is, the better. Another part is to not write code like that in production, at least not without comments explained what the heck the symbol soup is doing.
"(Perl) Wizard" has been applied to those who are notably proficient, thought that's usually a title bestowed by others.
The self-deprecating alternative is "funny character(s)" for both the symbols that appear all over Perl code as well as those who use them (I think this one was coined by Perl creator Larry Wall himself).
