I'd actually use some kind of projected future to define obsoleteness. Like, fossil fuels are obsolete relative to renewables, because there's going to be more going forwards even though there's more fossil fuels right now.

Athough, I have no idea if Mojo or Nim are going anywhere, and Brainfuck isn't. Maybe there's a dimension of novelty that's also flattened into that axis.
