Assuming that LLMs hamper gaining true experience and mastery of a language, and further assuming that LLMs will play a significant part in development (especially for juniors)... it seems to me that new programming languages and frameworks will have a significantly greater hurdle to overcome going forward, compared to what they faced in the past.

because the UK spent so long as the dominant world power and just saturated all international discourse

From what I've heard, German was still the go-to international language in academia until WW2, when it fell out of favor and US' post-war boom took over. So it's a bit more complicated.
