this could be worrying if you mean you don't understand class-based OO languages as a whole. if you specifically mean you don't understand multiple inheritance, that's less worrying, and reading "super() considered super" ought to clear things up.
so much of the so-called "JS hotness" seems not entirely red hot to me. perhaps you can skip over angular and proceed straight to react and see if that makes more sense?
based on this post, i don't know if the issue is ageism so much as foregoing breadth for depth. being able to tweak SQL configurations is definitely a valuable (in terms of $$$) skill, but what if some of that time had been spent reading SICP, learning how to implement class and module systems "from scratch?" it's not something that you'd ever do in your day job, but it would probably make understanding the variations on the overall class n' module theme easier.
