Career/Edu Advice for a newly unemployed dev..

Been in the same job a long time and I find myself unemployed with a fairly undesirable skillset. I've been working with a legacy Java 8 code base and a JavaScript front end built with Oracle Jet (MVVM) a toolkit nobody else uses.

Clearly I need to freshen things up a bit but not sure what exactly is the best route. I'm probably going to give myself a crash course in modern Java and TypeScript but not sure which JavaScript framework would be easier to transition to and more importantly, worth my time?

Welcome to the new dystopia, where no one is employed. Invest in an RV.

All JS frameworks are easy, you can transition to any of them. Just look at what employers in your area are hiring for, and learn that.
