When people say a web app is 'modern' I know it involves a javascript framework.
I'm not sure how or why this came about, but it seems to be a code-word meaning one of the newer javascript frameworks, that single word is almost a shibboleth at this point for an entire culture of development.

- ericb 5y agoRails dev. Did a long pair-coding interview at a company that had all JS for their backend. Tried out the JS ORM. Most of the day was me: let's do <this easy, normal thing in the ORM.> Them: well, this is more like a half-baked rails knockoff so things like that aren't there. So, they knew it was lousy, but picked it because it was JS? Sigh.
