I don't disagree with anything you've said, but the author of the post made the same point - languages don't die unless they are completely replaced. The author thinks that Java may live on for decades.

He has taken the unfortunate, but popular, definition of a dead programming language: one which has stopped evolving. Of course, such a language is no more dead than sharks.
