Of course, it would be [crystalist](https://forum.crystal-lang.org/t/name-for-crystal-programmers/5395/8).

However, the expression I personally love and will never forget is the following

> frankly **a bunch of alloof rude people** who wanted nothing to do with the  
> community and worked hard to make sure the language would not run  
> code out of the box. People begged them but they kept saying no.
