I thought the post is about an excellent iOS App - Pythonista, a Python IDE and at the same time a collection of Python wrappers over iOS APIs that gives you the possibility to create custom actions and automations right on your iPhone
- dec0dedab0de 4y agoPythonista is what python developers call themselves. At least the ones active in the community. Rustacean is the equivalent for Rust.
- jimbob45 4y agoI would assume Pythonista is the feminine version and Pythonist is the masculine version. Although, in practice, I would just say "Python user".
- dochtman 4y agoYou assume wrongly, Pythonista has been in use for both genders for a long time (more than a decade).
- Tao3300 4y agolike Sandinista or Fashionista
- kazinator 4y agoThere isn't a productive -ista suffix in English; it occurs in loanwords, or words created to ironically mimic a foreign language in the Romance family ("fashionista"). The -ista suffix in some European languages which have it is not universally feminine. English Slovak Italian (m) (f) (m) (f) fascist fašista fašistka fascista fasciste racist rasista rasistka razzista razziste See here: https://www.etymonline.com/word/-ist https://www.etymonline.com/word/-ist https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/-ista https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/-ista The -ista suffix from Latin, where it is a masculine, appearing in that form in a number of Romance languages, and in French as -iste, is masculine. The English -ist comes from the Latin -ista.
- mb7733 4y agoI've always wondered... Do people really say these words out loud? I've never heard anyone describe themselves as a "Pythonista","Gopher", "Rustacian" etc IRL. But I also don't work a ton with those languages.
- gpm 4y agoI've heard all 3 spoken.
- nomel 4y ago> Pythonista is what python developers call themselves. Just curious, where have you seen this exactly? I think I heard it once in real life, over the last decade, used by a non-technical manager. I’ve only read it a few times, online, also mostly by non-python users. I’ve never called myself a pythonista, and I’ve never known anyone who has. But, I also have never been in a group with individuals that know, or identifies as, a single language.
- sophacles 4y agoI've heard it at pycon and at the local python user's group. I've seen it on blogs for years.
- lynndotpy 4y agoI'm a big Python advocate. I'd never call myself a "Pythonista" if asked to describe myself, but I do see "Pythonista" as something that describes me. In this sense, as someone who is casually interested in learning Rust, the title "From Pythonista to Rustacean" told me this repo is very relevant for me! :)
- dec0dedab0de 4y agoI heard it more often circa 2010 when I was active in my local python user group. Usage has definitely waned along with some more of the cute aspects of pythonic culture, like referring to pypi as the cheese shop. I think it's because more and more companies started hiring specifically for python, and it became something developers were forced to use, as opposed to something that people chose to use because they loved it.
- evilduck 4y agoThe iOS app came after the Python community had adopted the term.
- valarauko 4y agoI've used it in the past, but it hasn't seen updates for over 2 years now. Does the app still work with iOS 16?
