I'm confident every programming language thought it was complete at some point... but eventually it's users demand some new "hot" feature and then you're back to releasing new versions again.
The C programming language just had a release in June 2018, C18. For a language released 47 years ago... and it's a pretty basic language compared to most other languages.
Fortran was released 62 years ago, and just released Fortran 2018 in November of 2018.
