flow-bin has substantially fewer downloads than coffeescript and both are declining. That is a dead project.

It's not as popular as typescript but not dead, it's consistently active for a decade [0].

Compare it with typescript [1] contributions if you want.

Don't you find it interesting that node-fetch is slightly less-dead otherwise has exactly the same "aliveness" as typescript [0] from your source (click 5 years)?
