Swift Mascot, etc

[reuschj (Justin Reusch)]

This is tangentially related to this thread about my experiences with the Rust ecosystem: A Few Take-Aways From the Rust Ecosystem

However, where that one is more serious, this may be one of the most trivial (but fun) things posted on this forum.

Rust has an official mascot: Ferris the crab and Rust programmers call themselves "rustaceans".

So... the questions for us:

• What do we call ourselves?
• What is our mascot and what does he or she look like? (obviously a bird)
• What is our mascot's name?

This obviously isn't a serious question... just a chance to give our community some fun cultural artifacts.

Let's just keep it that way

I’m surprised you responded to this post from 4 years ago.

I’ve always thought that we should call ourselves Swifties tho. Our mascot is the Swift bird….but it has no name!

[grid (Martin Grider)]

Maybe the bird is also named Swift.

@xtremekforever

Our mascot is the Swift bird

Our mascot is actually a swallow.

@reuschj

What do we call ourselves?

Should we at all?

I think it's this mythical creature: Martlet - Wikipedia :)
It symbolizes the constant quest for knowledge, learning, and adventure.
