Never was the barrier.
Here's the kicker: The devs spent nearly 5 months on a solution, and it ended up being so crap it was abandoned. The multiple vibe-coded solutions were all better.
Of course language was the barrier, that's part of why it was always hard to hire people. It takes years to get good at a particular language, and most people are idiots from bootcamps who learned a single framework.
