List of demonyms of programming languages[edit]

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Not encyclopedic. At best a list of dictdefs, many of them neologisms. See WP:NOT#DICT. Also the page title is incorrect. Demonym refers to a place name, not a usage name. "Essayist" (one who writes essays) is not a Demonym, and therefore neither is, say "APLer" (one who uses APL) -- a term i can testify is long established in the APL community.

Delete oh, no. "Demonym" is too cutesy. Let's at least pretend to be a serious encyclopedia here, people. The list, as short as it is now, already appears to be full of errors, hinting at how problematic the list may be to maintain. Sources are thin, here - I don't think coboler and rubyist are really all that popular, are they? smalltalker's source does not even back up the use of "smalltalker".
