Is it? https://jobs.perl.org/

I don't use it and you may not but it still has an active community and job listings. The last release was on December 20th [1].

This is what I'm talking about: it may not be popular in a "bleeding edge" sense, but it's still being used and developed.

"Dead" languages still have codebases that need to be maintained, and companies already invested that need new development may lean on the expertise the company already has, but this is more a sign of subsistence, not thriving life.

uh, it's got a total of three jobs on there currently with two of them over a month old.
