That's my biggest question, especially with Google. Meanwhile, Kodu is still getting updates 10 years later! [0] (Disclosure: I was an intern on Kodu years back, so I'm probably biased ;) )

I thought Kodu was pretty much frozen at this point, and I think Project Spark failed. Is it someone at MS working on the code?

There's still a dev fixing bugs and improving perf full-time, but it's not getting drastic changes. More people are using Kodu now than ever before.

Yes but they (Microsoft) also shut down Project Spark, the ‘spiritual successor’ to Kodu.

touché. What a missed opportunity Project Spark was. I feel like a book could be written about that.
