Gonna echo what everyone else has said. My addition as a hiring manager is this: I'm far more interested in what you've learned recently than what you're an expert on. If your expertise directly contributes to my company's projects, that's a huge bonus, but I'd really rather hire a go-getter who is willing to take risks and learn new technology. In that light, my recommendation to you is to learn a new technology (React is a good one). Build an app to learn, then build a second one to apply the lessons you learned from the first one. If you're any good at Javascript, it shouldn't take more than a few weeks to get the basics of React, etc, under control. My second piece of advice is to never let yourself get in this situation again. Continually research new tech as they come out. You don't have to jump on every new bandwagon, but when something piques your interest, set aside some time to learn it. Once you master React, you might think that learning a server side language would be useful, so you could dig into Go or PHP or Python. But no matter what, don't stop trying new things. Read documentation religiously. Pretty soon it'll be relatively easy to jump from one platform to another, since a lot of the concepts (MVC, OOP, etc) are transferable across languages and frameworks. Finally, don't argue in interviews. You can have a healthy debate, but if you sense any pushback whatsoever, drop it and move on. If I'm interviewing someone and they argue (read: pushing back with the intent of "I'm right and you're wrong") with me about something, that's a big red flag that we won't get along and I won't hire them. Instead, perhaps another skill to work on would be to determine how to debate calmly and rationally and somehow learn the art of persuasiveness (I've never mastered this, myself). As one of my mentors told me recently, try to divorce yourself from the notion of "i'm right". It might be true, but it's not useful when making friends or impressing people in interviews. Don't let it get you down. Good luck.
