compliers
Those who obey
Compliers are people who comply—those who follow rules, obey requests, or go along with what's asked of them.
The word often appears in contexts distinguishing cooperative individuals from resisters: The program worked well for willing compliers but failed with those who refused to participate.
In computing, a complier (more commonly spelled compiler) is software that translates code from one programming language to another.
