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.

A fork in the road with a two-sign post in the middle. To the left is "popular languages" with a paved road and a modern skyscraper-laced city in the background, to the right is "Semi-popular languages" with a sun-baked clay road lined with distortion mirrors.

That's a shit take, it's assuming that the LLM has the same thought process for learning a programming language instead of being autocorrect no steroids.

I'm pretty sure LLMs will be shit at Lisp for the foreseeable future just because the language is sort of created by the programmer.
