      @saltnburnem 1. I have close to 20 years experience off and on with JavaScript. For the last ~7 years it's been at least half of the work I do. For the last 2 I've done mostly react. I still don't know JavaScript a to z. I don't even know what it would mean to know it a to z. Tldr: no.

    @saltnburnem 2. Is a harder question. You definitely need to know the syntax. You are probably better off having tried to build a small app, with anything - plain js, jQuery, another framework. That would help you understand the problems react/Vue solve.

      @saltnburnem If I were going to start with little to no js experience, I'd start learning plain js before react. Once I started to see that I was repeating myself in places, and that it was difficult to build larger things, I'd reach for a framework to learn.

        @saltnburnem But I am very subject to the curse of knowledge. In the end it's different for everyone. This is just me looking back on when it started to click for me.
