"Is This Tech Dead?" A snarky autopsy engine for your dead frameworksisthistechdead.com...
Hi HN, I built this irony and data driven Regret-as-a-service tool to almost scientifically declare tech deaths. F.

Love the attitude, disagree with the content. Vue.js is “critical”? Rust is “Endangered”? Then I realized it’s not about the content - it’s a reflection on our obsession with chasing the new thing and declaring the recent thing dead.

the algorithm is still in its embryonic phase, not enough data and budget. May evolve soon... or die

Pretty bad. Stack-overflow and hackernews metrics don't work, python is considered 100% dead and 70% dead respectively. By trying to search in the page with control-f.. I voted for death? Reddit and youtube are not remotely reasonable proxies for project health. Naturally no one likes wordpress, but it runs like 40% of sites on the internet, and it's also 40% "dead", which seems wrong. Why is there a newsletter? My advice is to throw away all the social media garbage, including hackernews sentiments, focus on github metrics for commits, issues, and forks.. see if you can add anything new there

I'm sorry you had to learn about python this way.

It will definitely evolve. Feedbacks like this are important to improve the algorithm. You can see it now as a prototype. The project is 2 days old

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.

As my tool is.

Great tongue-in-cheek project. Ignore those who don't get the joke, and keep building fun stuff like this.

Tried Knockout.js, Mithril.js, Marko.js, Rocket (Rust), none to be found.

Also, the site seems to have abysmal performance.

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.

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.

Would you mind to name it so we can show some respect

The execution is a little iffy. Deno is nowhere close to being dead, and Elm is intentionally frozen for stability. The website also appears to be quite laggy, especially the dropdown menu for sorting.

That being said, it's a really cool idea and I'm glad how open it is. This has the potential to become an authoritative and useful source for considering software stability and support.

I'd say Deno never got to be quite alive.

Node is the big player and Bun is the promising upstart from where I sit.
