> 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.
