Sounds like you think this is some kind of "Web 2.0" situation, but that was just a marketing term.
Languages are software; they are dependencies of other software (the only unavoidable dependency!) and as such should absolutely be versioned.
Versioning isn't for marketing or providing easy ways for users to remember when features were released. It's a tool for change management. Exciting features often come with breaking changes, but not vice versa.
