I like Evan's preferred term: "Elm programmers"

I heard a great point once, which is that calling ourselves "Elmists" or "Elmers" or "Elmos" kind of suggests that we're a tribe, that we treat the language as more than a tool we use for a particular job.

But at the end of the day, that's what it is: a tool we use for a particular job! We should choose Elm when we think it's a good fit, and choose other tools when they're a better fit - not because we're part of a tribe. :)
