This has been one of the biggest things I've enjoyed about it as well! Building cross-platform applications is generally a nightmare. In C++ you have to figure out a build system and dependencies on your own, and also you're writing C++ which is terrible. In scripting languages you either have to require users to install the runtime or you have to use packaging tools that are of variable quality. Being able to write cross-platform code with sane package management and compile down to native binaries takes away a huge headache!
