Deno: Suggestion: Denolander as the official nickname for fellow Deno users

Created on 15 May 2020  路  5Comments  路  Source: denoland/deno

As an open source project, its community of users is a central part of the Deno project. So it would certainly make sense to pay attention to the community-building aspect of the project. A suggestion to add a GitHub Discussions feature (#5398) is just one example that speaks to the importance of building and engaging the community.

With that in mind, I think it's quite important(!) for Deno community to have an endearing term to refer to fellow Deno users--like Gopher in the Go community (though in this case it also refers to the official mascot itself). I've seen "denoer"(https://github.com/denoland/deno/issues/1564#issue-402015312) and "Denor"(https://github.com/denoland/deno/issues/5435#issue-618701711) used before, but since there is no consensus around this yet, I'd like to suggest Denolander 馃. I think it reads better and also feels natural given the name of this GitHub Organization for the Deno project as well as the official website: https://deno.land/.

Denorider lol.

ive heard denosaurs, denosaurases, denolanders ... i dont think there should be an "offical" name persay, community members should just call themselves what they want

"deno users" is as long as "Denosaurs". Is that a nick name?

denosaurs is more playful
