  I'm surprised that no one mentioned COBOL or ADA.

    I would call Ada mature, but not finished. There are still plenty of issues under discussion. https://github.com/Ada-Rapporteur-Group/User-Community-Input https://github.com/Ada-Rapporteur-Group/User-Community-Input

  Two languages come to mind: 1. Elixir's creator Jose Valim has stated that Elixir is pretty much feature-complete. I think they're potentially going to add some static-typing stuff, but the language is "complete" as far as I can tell. 2. This is going to sound weird, but I think Elm is pretty dang close to complete. Elm 0.19.1 came out years ago, and it's stable as heck. I suspect that Evan has one or two more things up his sleeve before "1.0", and then that will be it forever. The Elm community has a very high standard for quality and stability.

  The spec for Nock, the low level language for Urbit, will only have 4 more versions. See "Kelvin versioning": https://developers.urbit.org/reference/glossary/kelvin https://developers.urbit.org/reference/glossary/kelvin

  The Common Lisp standard was completed in 1994.
