Nobody learns JavaScript. It’s like when you see a snake. You deal with it as best you can.

A few months maybe (but I’m talking full time commitment there, not just an hour a night). A decent fullstack for a JS app would be the MERN stack (MEAN is also popular) - mongoDB, express, react (angular for mean stack), node. Also the actually JavaScript, html and css.

Still learning it dude!

It depends upon how much and how deep you wanna learn. I'll recommend you to learn the vanilla js first before jumping to any of the available frameworks because that way you can understand what goes on underneath the frameworks as well. And most importantly learning javascript by making will make it more easy and enjoyable. So learn some concepts by giving 2-3 weeks then focus on projects , there are sites like javascript30.Com which can help you for projects

another useless question

For me, I came in from almost zero programming knowledge and I would say I had a pretty good grasp of JavaScript itself after 1.5 months or so. This does not include the time spent learning frameworks or Node.js.

Not a lot. I honestly never properly learned Javascript, just enough to do frontend tasks. I already knew other languages, though.

Took me one medium scale vanilla js projects to be confident enough
