Nope, JS is “You think you are nerd”.

Also, why React is there? It’s a lib not a language

I didn't certify that nerd certifier though.
You want to be looking for some other nerd certifier certifier for that.

HTML 5 is also not a programming language.

That being said. The JS hate is kinda cringe at this point. It's a perfectly fine language all things considered.

I wouldn't say it's a perfectly fine language but I also don't understand the people hating on JS developers. If anything kudos to them for suffering through a language filled with such BS as "==" not actually doing what you think it should do (when coming from other languages).

Isn't it Turing complete or was that CSS?

Come on y’all, would you lay off the gatekeeping. Some of us still think the free web’s a good thing, lest we all end up in a walled garden hellscape. JavaScript is therefore needed if we’re being pragmatic. Just transpile it from TypeScript if you’re ~~too stuck up for dynamic languages~~ building something big.
