Forgot one. --I like how Go fills this little niche that no one else quite fills. Combining garbage collection while defaulting to value types. A savvy programmer has a lot of leeway to avoid creating garbage, while still "feeling" like Javascript. Sure other languages are even better for avoiding garbage, but they also don't have the care-free feeling of JavaScript. Or they might feel care free but are living in Heap City.
