The simplicity is nice. It's one of the more readable languages. I particularly like that reflection has sensible limitations, so you can't produce the ridiculous frameworks that appear in Java and friends. I wish channels and goroutines were more strict, so that you could have some basic assurance no race conditions can be present. Defer is very convenient, which is a problem, as it is a source of bugs. It's usually used to ensure file-like objects get closed, but generally those return important errors when closed. A simple "defer file.Close()" will silently ignore the errors generated.
