things you will learn about javascript:
- hosting is cool and can help you arrange code more intuitively
- closures are useful
- knowing the actual language itself and not just frameworks is very good
- use a linter and style checker because the language is too flexible if working with a team
- chrome debugging console mastery is a boon
- code preprocessors like grunt and babel etc are annoying but can be useful
- reading the actual language specs is a very good way to be knowledgeable (i never did, but my coworker who did was super helpful because of this)
- using imports and modular patterns is probably a good idea (they got this one, kudos!)
- its very easy to bloat up a project with npm, making stuff yourself is often totally ok, and often very good
- most people do not know the actual language, and confuse frameworks and patterns with the language
- one of javascripts greatest strengths is its ubiquity, you can run programs on any almost any web connected device almost instantly. you can use this to great effect
i write those because i think this article is mostly making points that are generic and dont apply specifically to js. im sure i forgot alot, just freestyled!
