Deno lost momentum. The teams that could have used Deno have adopted Go.

Seems alive to me.

I know GitHub stars are not the ideal metric, but Deno dying seems like an extraordinary claim that requires at least a little bit of evidence.

People don't unstar projects on github.

The metric to look for is the slope of that curve - how many new people get interested in deno each day? The slope of that curve is clearly trending downward.

Comparing to Node it seems to be at about the same rate: https://star-history.com/#denoland/deno&nodejs/node&Date. It's actually quite impressive how close it is.

What's the typical curve for a project?

I would have thought it would be like other technology adoption curves - surprised if it _wasn't_ logarithmic

From the chart, ∂{\star}/∂t remains pretty positive.

Losing momentum != (Not being alive || Dying)

Maybe it’s easier for you to understand the notation above.
