> I don’t see an older language advantage that is widening from LLM use

A classic one is C++. Microcontrollers like esp32 cost about $10 these days, for a machine more capable than an early PC.

One downside though is that you typically need C++ to program them, and the barrier to entry with C++ is very high, especially for non-programmers.

LLMs remove that barrier so that anyone can create powerful embedded devices - programmed in C++ - without knowing anything about C++.
