Not much if you use the Geode (Developer) REST API. Essentially, one just needs a good understanding of JSON, which should be natural in JavaScript. The REST API can support any language client that can parse/format JSON and send/receive HTTP requests, which is most languages. The REST interface prototype used Ruby and a few Geode tests were written with Python, so effectively all modern languages should be fair game. Building "responsive" applications using REST is not necessarily the same thing as building highly-scalable, low-latency applications using a native client driver. This is where Reactive style combined with Web architectures can really excel here.
