It has certainly picked up some features along the way, and compatibility across implementations has improved, but the code I remember writing 25 years ago would still work just fine. Overall, it's quite stable and slow moving. The 'ORMs' of the Javascript world, to stick with the analogy, have a reputation of being replaced every few months, but that's a different topic entirely. ORMs of the SQL world aren't much better. All the more reason to focus on the core language in both cases.
