Thank you. Aptly written. Even if the idea is fantastic, if not much happens for years, it's almost safe to assume that the product is sort of dead. But it kind of depends! An old academic language like Standard ML might not get a lot of action on its repo (actually gets updated frequently), I'd still use it as it forms the basis of several successor languages.
