Some of the things you mentioned are pure aesthetics - and they change with time - forward and backward. Some others change with the advent of tools and other developments.

It skipped passed the last three decades of advancement in languages like they never happened. And then as it becomes way more popular people will ask for the same set of features that other languages have had forever.
