Most languages require maintenance.

Some languages—Clojure is a good example—have packages from 10 years ago, entirely unmaintained, that still work great because no maintenance is needed.

This is also true for Elixir though. A lot of "unmaintained" Elixir packages still work fine.

In my experience, Elixir is very much on that end of the spectrum as well. I'm wondering if GGP just considers packages that don't have updates for 6 months as "unmaintained" or "dead" because they come from Javascript world where everything is, well... you know.

Broken and deprecated from inception?
