We export raw minerals mainly because Australia self-imposes industrial, environmental and "net zero" regulations that other countries don't have. I don't see that changing.

Those of us who studied through UNSW around 1970 learned FORTRAN 4 using the Watfor compiler, which I think was created by one of their researchers. We then moved on to BASIC. Fortunately, at the time there were not many languages in use for the non-machine language peasants.
