Modern "Engineer": "What's prime, a new Javascript type?"

Yep.

I interviewed a few years ago and the screener asked me what I have been doing lately and I said mostly vanilla JS and he wanted to know all about that framework and if I would be able to use react

The tech lead I was working with a few years ago was absolutely certain vanilla js is a framework. To the point he dismissed some candidate for not knowing about it. I guess he was referring to this one http://vanilla-js.com/

Vanilla JS is kinda the neutral element of the framework algebra.
