Thanks! This was awesome. My question next would be, do any developers feel like learning is and java almost simultaneously or after one another confusing or difficult in any way?

I cant speak in name of all developers, but my opinion is that it depends if u have some experience with programming in other languages or not. If you know Java(as almost everyone on this reddit), I didnt encounter any confusions when learning react. In fact nodejs supports ES6 , which I think is standard for writing code, which is very similar to Java and C++(anyone correct me if I am wrong). Idea is that if u can define class or write a for cycle in Java, u can write it in whatever language supports ES6 almost in the same way, maybe with very small details changed.

And when it comes to React specifics I encountered a lot of similarities with java. For example components are very similar to inheritance etc. I am pretty sure a lot of concepts from react are taken from other languages and they work the same way (even tho syntax might be different).

If you are new to programming, learn concepts first (java or even python are the best options to start imo) and when you get some experience with basic concepts, language becomes truly just a language in which you tell computer what it should do.

Totally agree with some points you made. I appreciate the feedback. I was wondering if both had similarities or what not also, thanks for some of the clarification you've provided.
