> no new language/framework/library will ever be able to emerge?
Here is a Youtube video that makes the same argument. React is / will be the last Javascript framework, because it is the dominant one right now. Even of people publish new frameworks, LLM coding assistants will not be able to assist coding using the new frameworks, so the new frameworks will not find users or popularity.
And even for React, it will be difficult to add any more new features, because LLMs only assist to write code that uses the features the LLMs know about, which are the old, established ways to write React.

Why not? When my coding agent discovers that they used the wrong API or used the right API wrong, it digs up the dependency source on disk (works at least with Rust and with JavaScript) and looks up the new details.
I also have it use my own private libraries the same way, and those are not in any training data guaranteed.
I guess if whatever platform/software you use doesn't have tool calling youre kind of right, but also missing something kind of commonplace today.
My theory is that it will not be the case.
New frameworks can be created, but they will be different from before:
- AI-friendly syntax, AI-friendly error handling
- Before being released, we will have to spend hundred of millions of token of agents reading the framework and writing documentation and working example code with it, basically creating the dataset that other AI can reference when using the new framework.
- Create a way to have that documentation/example code easily available for AI agents (via MCP or new paradigm)
