Is that really true? In the page some report that Google and other companies that aren't ALL web require you to know JS.

I know very little about js. It wasn't an issue when I interviewed with Google and it hasn't been an issue working there.

Not at all. In Google interviews you can choose the language.

Until a week ago, the only reason I needed to know Javascript was for my own side projects. I have never done anything requiring the web professionally until about 4 days ago.

I've been in software for over 20 years!
