There's always more to learn :). It's definitely true that in order to program a browser, you need to execute JavaScript ( or WebAssembly). Writing it by hand is optional. If you're curious, check out the Reagent example page. It's still kinda-sorta JavaScript, you use the same library functions, but the syntax and core language semantics are different (and to me, better).
I did learn the basics of backend, I made a restful API for a phone app not long ago using django, you can find it on github here.
