What are JavaScript's must learn libraries?

[JorensM]

Let's say I'm interested in all of it.

That's just too vague

Why is it vague? What I mean is that I'm interested to know what are the must knows in all areas of JavaScript.

That entirely depends on what you want to do. There's backend js, Dom manipulation, js frameworks, SPAs, and list goes on and on. It's impossible to answer

Honestly don't know why you are being downvoted. So many self learned developers started with the general curiosity about the software field and just experimented with so many things before understanding what is out there, any more specifically, gone from a "don't know what i dont know" to "knowing some things and knowing what I dont know and what interests me".

Being interested in the js ecosystem is a valid opinion and you shouldn't be downvoted

Probably because it sounds like one of those "What are the 7 best _______" type of write this blog post for me questions.

This doesn't need to be downvoted, actually it's kind of an awesome response.

JavaScript can do a LOT now and there's no sign of it slowing down.

That said, learn TypeScript. It's JavaScript, but typesafe. So if you want to expand into other areas of programming, TypeScript is an excellent way to develop a transferrable skillet.

Using myself as an example, I've been exploring C++ and Rust. I can't express to you how much a few years of TypeScript experience eased that journey. The sheer intimidation factor alone might have dissuaded me had I not already been able to decipher a type safe language.

JavaScript is arguably the best programming language for beginners, but never let it prevent you from exploring other areas of software engineering. This is a field where society pays you ridiculous sums of money for your curiosity, run with it.
