I don’t know all of them, but I was talking about React being a framework, not a language.

Hah, I kinda glossed over that one. Not sure what the downvote is about, it's a joke. JS and PHP are the two I'm most familiar with and they're scripting languages, not "proper" programming languages. That doesn't make them any less serious. Anyway, React, being a library for a scripting language, is two steps removed.

matlab is considered a programming language but that piece of shit acts more like a scripting language than php

Scripting languages are a subset of programming languages though.

A scripting language is certainly a programming language. In fact, it can be hard to even draw a line at all. PHP is just-in-time compiled, and has static analysis tools that can catch errors that are normally considered "compile-time" - scripting language or no? Is Typescript compiled? Are JVM bytecode and WASM just very low level scripting languages? Can you write a powerful web application using BASH? What even is Lisp, in this context? "Scripting language" is a poor abstraction, really.
