Is React a programming language?

The question is about react

Answer

No. React is a declarative UI library for building interactive interfaces; it is written in JavaScript (most commonly) or TypeScript and runs in the browser or in JavaScript runtimes used for server rendering. Meta (formerly Facebook) maintains React as open source, and the wider community contributes patterns, meta-frameworks, and tooling. In practice, professional React development pairs the library with a real programming language and platform knowledge: ES modules, async programming, DOM semantics, accessibility, HTTP, bundlers, and often a framework such as Next.js or Remix for routing, data loading, and deployment integration. Saying “we use React” therefore describes the UI layer; the engineering discipline still spans language fundamentals, architecture, testing, and operations—areas our vetted React developers are evaluated on before they join client teams.
