I too wanted to make this pun, glad I’m not alone :)
There are lots of alternatives. There was a large thread on the forum discussing it and there is basically no consensus for a preferred term.

As someone from the US state of Michigan that has at least two competing demonyms, I actually find the idea of everyone using a different form based on preference to be charming.

With Crystmas as official language day? I'm in!:)

Strahler / Fossickers?
Crynge.
Pfff, yesterday i talked with a Brain fucker...it was terrifying.
Can we just stop calling peoples after tools?
Generally I would agree, but in this case, "Crystal user" isn't that much better.
A developer who uses crystal? Like a builder who uses a hammer is not a hammer-user ;)
EDIT: Wow that took a long time to realize what you meant...haha no, truly not good, and thinking about it my comment "A developer who uses crystal?" is now terrible too.

Crystal dev
Problem solved
Develops the best Crystal on the market ;)
A "tool" is probably the best term for someone who actually uses BF.
you people must be fun at parties :)
Man, there have to be better alternatives than this.
Did you try “crystacean?” Chuckles in .rs.
