I found this a really thought provoking article. It talked about frameworks as a reason that languages don't guarantee engineers know-how but I wonder if they might also play into the homogenization of language choice?
Programming nowadays involves a lot less building from scratch, and a lot more library choice, which is one thing that ends up counting in favour of languages with big ecosystems (like JavaScript and Python).
Widespread technologies (like Python) have a bigger choice of framework innovation (like fast api for example), so there are definitely cases where not innovating with your language choice gives you more options to innovate with a framework choice further down the line?
