Britain was under Roman rule for nearly 400 years. So why didn't a Romance language survive like in the other western parts of the Roman Empire?

Why did a Romance-based language fail to survive in Britannia while the Germanic English-language took hold on the island?

In the eastern Roman Empire, we know that the Greek language was already dominant and survived for much longer.

But the linguistic situation in modern Britain is a stark contrast when compared to other western parts under Roman rule like Iberia or modern France, where a Romance language did survive. So why did Latin, and its linguistic descendants, die out in Britain?

Anyone here develop AI agents in both Python and Typescript? I am curious to hear about people's experiences using both, and which language and AI/agent ecosystem they preferred developing in.

Of course, I understand that there are certain use-cases where one language excels, and I am interested in hearing about those, too.

I've been looking for a new job lately (brutal market, btw), and a lot of the ML/AI engineering work now seems pretty LLM-dominated.

I still see a few jobs that seem to be doing more "classical", pre-ChatGPT era type of work with Pytorth or Tensorflow, but it seems that a lot of the work now is working with LLMs, doing RAG, prompt engineering, etc. with Langchain or what have you, and calling Anthropic or OpenAI model endpoints.

Is this an accurate take on the market? And if so, what happened to all the Pytorch/Tensorflow work? Why did it shift so heavily towards just using LLM providers in some package/endpoint?
