Mature is a humble way to describe stagnancy. Something/one has stopped growing and will likely never become better than it is now. This is on shortterm no decline, but will longterm evolve into it. For a programming-community this is very very bad. Programming is not only about the language itself, but also the libs, frameworks, tools, and that's what most enytrys about python or javascript are. When the community of Ruby on a nerd-meltingpot already is so low that they hardly share any content, then how much less recognition will they receive in more mundane and conservative communities? Now less recognition will mean less new users, less new libs/frameworks/tools&support. Over time the existing users will move away or just die, which means the decline has started.
