Languages never die. But companies stop making new projects with them - for some number of 9s percent of companies. E.g. - FOOGOLTRAN is a five-nine dead language, if 99.999% of new projects don't use it.
- Roboprog 10y agoI guess as long as a language is used in at least 11% of projects, it can avoid being "one-nine" dead :-)
- sillysaurus3 10y agoI like this definition of language deadness. It seems especially useful when restricted to one decade.
