"They learn the language of the stones" make no sense there, no? Are they trying to portray a shift from hardware to software?

Yeah, I took that to mean programming.

It actually makes perfect sense here. The physical hardware by itself is nothing more than various pieces of metal. The "language of the stones" is referring to the programming languages that tell the hardware what to do.

Eh, I'd consider "the language of the stones" to be the binary instructions to the CPU. They skipped a few steps from manually sending CPU instructions to high level languages, but all high level languages eventually run that "language of the stones" at the end of the day.
