I had a bit of a geek-out moment last night and this is the natural extension
Ruby (on Rails) - Loves YA despite being well outside her "teenage" years (hey, good lit should be easy to read!) Occasionally will pick up an adult mystery or romance, but has very specific rules about what she wants (no cheating, no character death, happy endings only please) and will knock a star off when books leave too much vague and open to interpretation.
PHP - Five stars everything ... that fic about mutant walnuts written all in lowercase with no punctuation? Who cares if it wasn't readable? SO CREATIVE!! Is an avid reader and thorough reviewer but you always find yourself reading crappy books on her recommendation.
Javascript - Into some very kinky things (functional programming! prototype inheritance!) but is scared people will think she's a freak and so sorts her favorites into other shelves that have nothing to do with why she really liked them (pretty-covers, reading-challenge) so that hopefully no one notices.
Python - Mentions "some spelling errors here" in her review after she notices one little typo on page 238 in an otherwise beautifully written and well edited book.
Node (server side Javascript) - Always finds the most fascinating looking genre busting books ... DNFs all of them after 20%. Never any explanation, just DNF DNF DNF DNF DNF-- Ooo look! A bit of tinsel stuck to a tree branch!
Java - Is currently reading three books by Dostoyevsky and writing a paper on Charles Dickens ... oh, she not in graduate school. She's doing this for fun. Doesn't everyone speculate on the intersection of early journalism and the nurturing of great writers for fun? Occasionally will read and review some "popular fiction", get a thousand likes and ends up getting everybody sued by Oracle because there was too much quoting from the copyrighted text.

Meanwhile, I sadly do.
