i am still a javascript noobie, but i'm moving on to the next step after vanilla language, which is learning a framework or a library. there is a scary stack of tools out there, so much so people term it javascript fatigue. i decided on reactjs, because it is very clear cut, it is a mobile ui library (front end stack), it helps you write code that is reusable. which sounded straightforward to me.  and if you go further you can learn react native, a cross platform native app development tool, of which flutter is it's competitor.
