I highly doubt it. These things excel at translation.

Even without training data, if you have an idiosyncratic-but-straightforward API or framework, they pick it up no problem just looking at the codebase. I know this from experience with my own idiosyncratic C# framework that no training data has ever seen, that the LLM is excellent at writing code against.

I think something like Rust lifetimes would have a harder time getting off the ground in a world where everyone expects LLM coding to work off the bat. But something like Go would have an easy time.

Even with the Rust example though, maybe the developers of something that new would have to take LLMs into consideration, in design choices, tooling choices, or documentation choices, and it would be fine.
