I think that language designers should release a new version when they actually have something new and not because somebody decided that there has to be a new version every x months. Also I think that the popularity of other JVM languages, eg. Kotlin, derives not from their quick releases, but from the fact that they observed what programmers didn't like about Java and designed the language from the start keeping in mind those problems and addreesing them right from the beginning.
