It is guided by hardware changes and changed over the last 70 years a lot.

GPUs spawned shader languages and network cards spawned html and javascript.

Yes indeed, and after had hit the reply button I was thinking about GPUs. But if you look at how a single GPU core is programmed, this is still served pretty well with the traditional programming model, just slightly enhanced for the different memory architecture.

With "radical changes" I mean totally moving away from the von Neumann architecture, e.g. "weird stuff" like quantum-, biochemical- or analog-computers.
