'noders' is a demonym for members of Everything2

There are also "Perl monks", and "Lispers".

I've heard of device coders referred to as "Bit bangers", and AI types as "Symbol pushers".

Help Wanted:
I've also added a column for the core language principles / philosophy / manifesto.

Things like "Zen of Python", "Go Proverbs". Would love some comments with links to canonical talks or blog posts from leaders in the language and what they call their manifesto.

FYI, Python users are also sometimes known as "pythoneers".
