This person's distinction between "library" and "framework" is frankly insane.

React, which just is functions to make DOM trees and render them is a framework? There is a reason there are hundreds of actual frameworks that exist to make structure about using these functions.

At this point, he should stop using any high level language! Java/python are just a big frameworks calling his bytecode, what magical frameworks!

library vs framework (you call a library, a framework calls you) is pretty typical and arguably very useful distinction.

calling a framework necessarily magic is the weird thing.
