The only reason why you regard JavaScript as “fundamental” is that it’s built into the browser. Sure, you can draw that line, but at least acknowledge that there’s many places to draw the line.

I’d rather make comparative statements, like “JavaScript is more fundamental than React,” which is obviously true. And then we can all just find the level of abstraction that works for us, instead of fighting over what technology is “fundamental.”

I agree and I think it’s a nice explanation that fundamentality (characteristics upon which everything depends or would not be possible) is contextual.
