I think most people would disagree with that. The ecmascript versions even changed their naming from numbered to release year reference because they wanted to move fast and acknowledge a commitment to consistent/frequent release cycle. That's why they moved from es6 naming to say es2015 etc.

Compare that to something like Lua which is notoriously slow and deliberate with changes.

I tend to think with JS's willingness to adopt any and every hot/contemporary programming trend and it's inability to purge anything (or "break the web"), it's unfortunately destined to age like milk, but I guess time will tell.
