Do all projects need to continue having work done on them to be considered 'alive'? Is there no possibility for a project to be 'finished' and still good to use without needing any more work?
For libraries wouldn't you expect at least work to keep supporting newer versions of the language? Or use the improvements brought by said new versions?
For a language itself I don't know. I don't know I've never designed one. Maybe keep working on it to take advantage of improvements made to lower level libraries that you use?
