Hah, I'm a bad person to ask because I'm managing now. I've used much more React professionally, but I still find myself much more productive in the Vue ecosystem.

I don't often collide with company cultures that require specific language/tool experience in my network these days, though I realize they exist out there. I haven't ever hit an issue launching into a job in unfamiliar languages, and I've made that leap with all of Ruby/Java/Golang/PHP/Python – minimal pre-exposure in every case (school was C++).

Right, yeah a new programming language is like driving a new car, you check for how it does all the primary concepts and learn about the one or two new concepts

Lots of recruiters and hiring managers dont see it that way
