As someone who spends 40 hours a week (and 60 - 70 lately) coding Verilog for FPGAs I'm always excited when something domain-specific hits the front page. I have no idea what a PL Troll is, though, so I think I missed the point of the entire post. Anyone care to elaborate? Google is not helpful.

A programming languages troll would be someone who suggests using obscure programming languages or techniques (you should use Agda here, you should write a type checker) to solve systems problems "because it's safer" regardless of practicality.
