Are there new things being developed based on windows 3.1?
Are there new things being developed based on lisp?
The analogy is not very good.

I guess I am missing your point. Care to elaborate your point?
Lisp and Windows 3.1 are “not dead” in very different ways.
Put otherwise, as https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33465597 says one could define “dead” in a way that Win 3.1 is dead but Lisp is not (not more than usual anyway).
In 2015, Paris Airport Air Traffic Software were running on windows 3.1.
Is windows 3.1 outdated ? Yes. No longer a public facing product ? Yes.
Dead ? Absolutely not (at least back then, maybe it got decommissioned).
Around that time, a friend of mine was doing his master Thesis in an astronomy lab. He had to load fortran 77 routines from a 5" floppy disk that were doing critical computation (they were in the process of migrating). Same diagnosis: outdated, became a niche product, but not dead at all.
