This feels like it would apply to other similar technologies, like Java or Ruby. (Or Node, assuming the startup using it doesn't fail that fast.)

Yeah, you're totally right. I'm the OP of the post and was writing from seeing a pattern with .Net projects abandoned by the original creators and then eventual failing. Since I'm a .Net developer that's what I'm seeing more of. I imagine if I were Java or Ruby I'd be seeing the same thing.
