Elixir is often presented as "done" (https://elixirforum.com/t/is-elixir-done/20830/12 https://elixirforum.com/t/is-elixir-done/20830/12). For example, the depreciation policy mention that function can only be removed on a major version (1.X to 2.Y for example), and for now it's still in 1.X and no Elixir 2 is planned.
It still has releases (https://elixir-lang.org/blog/2021/05/19/elixir-v1-12-0-released/ https://elixir-lang.org/blog/2021/05/19/elixir-v1-12-0-relea...) to follow Erlang releases, but Erlang itself is also more conservative than some other languages.
