Actually, you have to know a lot to be a Drupal 8 guru.  Below is a list.  I’m not saying that you have to know all that to use or even theme drupal.  But to become a core developer on the Drupal product, write modules, etc — basically a guru–, you need to at least know what all of these technologies are.

• HTML 5
• CSS 3
• Javascript (jQuery is Javascript)
• jQuery (Drupal uses jQuery)
• Bootstrap (front-end framework for responsive design and styling)
• Symfony (Drupal 8 uses Symfony components)
• Twig (Drupal 8 theming engine)
• YAML (for configuration files)
• Restful web services
• OOP (object oriented programming)
• underscore.js (that’s in there too)

Did I miss anything else?
