In hardware, a bit of the opposite is happening: big companies are paying Intel, AMD, Cavium, etc more money for semi-custom SOC's that combine multi-core CPU's and HW accelerators. There's also more uptake of FPGA hardware, which necessitates new programming paradigms and tools for SW types. And nobody working at this level uses Rails or whatever lol. They actually want to use the hardware they buy.
