Dead over the long term, as it has lost momentum. Perl 5 is dead in the same way. What programming language would you recommend to someone looking to learn programming? In 2000, you could make a strong case for Perl. In 2015, there are a half dozen languages ahead in line. Anyone new picking up Perl is likely doing it just for a project. Same with angular.
