Likes: - Big standard lib, including SQL base classes, allowing very consistent DB code. No 6 different ORMs and slightly different DB code for every DB type.

Ahem Rust. - Cross-compiling is easy and consistent Dislikes: - Error handling. Done to death, but it direly needs some syntax sugar like Rust's `?` operator. Seems like 3/4 of any function that does anything significant is `if err` branches. - Nullabilty and the way references work feels like a footgun. Rust feels more clear about what's happening when. Not sure there's much to be done about it now though.
