What I like about Go at the beginning

no particular order

• Small spec
• Engineered, not "grown"
• Easy concurrency with goroutines
• Great set of explanations via blog, tour, & guide
• One single format standard for everything (go fmt in my pre-commit)
• Cross-compilation

• Pointers but no pointer arithmetic
• Automatic initialization
