Hi Miki,
I would add the following two points:
* Module system.
This does not only help with the compilation speed, but has a bunch of
other advantages. Like clear distinction between public/private data and
functions. It also means, you don't have complex makefiles to build your
system, the go build tool can completely resolve all dependencies on its
own. It also makes it very easy to exchange code between different
projects - they can share the same module. The public/private barriers make
this a very robust construct.
* GC
Not only that Go has a GC, which in my eyes is almost mandatory for a
huge class of projects, but of course, it has an extremely performant GC,
which mostly runs in parallel and has pauses in the range of milliseconds
even for multi-gigabyte heaps.
