As "dead" as Android (which is based on Linux, a Unix clone) and OSX (a BSD Unix) and iOS (child of OSX)? Why does Microsoft vibrantly support Linux in Windows 10 (an abomination to Ex-CEO Steve Ballmer) if Unix is "dead"?
I think the very opposite is true. Some developers realized that the KISS principle (including the Unix philosophy where everything is a stream of bytes) is not a bad idea after all.
