Maybe their definition uses recent popularity or how many new projects are started with it. Under that definition, I think it's pretty safe to call it "dead".

  If you redefine language, anything is possible.

    Yes. "Dead" normally means "to be devoid of life," but it's often extended to metaphorically cover things like computer languages. edit: for ancient Greek to become a dead language, will we be required to burn all of the books that were written in it, or can we just settle for not writing any new ones?

      For ancient Greek all you need is no one speaking it (using it in real life) Same with a programming language - is no one is wiring code in it, it's dead
