Discussion on: Why I am starting over with JavaScript.

I know that exact feeling. Been there. I would recommend to stick it out with React. Learning React will help you learn JavaScript. If you can already know the basics of JavaScript, you know enough to do React. You use JavaScript in a very specific way to write React, and practicing React, is the best way to improve those specific JavaScript muscles.

That's what coding is like. You learn something and get proficient with it, then you get introduced to this whole new context and it can be very overwhelming. But being overwhelmed is fine. Be overwhelmed and push through it and you'll be glad you did.

Definitely. Still pushing through and working on things. Pushing and learning.
