Deno, Rust, famously dead software projects.

Almost. Like all techs are

I'd say you'd have to be brain dead to say either are "almost dead".

Sorry, you offered a poorly made peanut gallery to a poorly made peanut gallery, I couldn't resist.

React(js) seems to be holding the fort quite well, considering we are so quick to move on to the next big thing.

Looks like a cool project. That said, it doesn't pass the sniff test on the methodology- Something like 30% of the score is just related to bitching and instability. Imagine a crazy world where maintainers/owners do a good job on serving their community and building good tech... clearly a death sentence

Ionic, Supabase, and strapi by only the second page? This cannot be taken seriously.

Yes.

That’s right. But isn’t it how techs are declared dead ?

You're calling frameworks with two day old commits critical and terminal? As Mark Twain would say, reports of my death have been greatly exaggerated.

It’s a Frankenstein made with duct tape and dead techs. The algo will evolve. It just needs more data

I put in the web framework that our company’s ecosystem is based on and it said “no results.” At first I thought this was part of the joke, but no, our tech is just beyond dead.
