I guess the type system without a strict hierarchy, as well as very
fast compilation enabling fast iteration. Granted, a lot of languages
have those features nowadays, and I doubt anyone would speaks about it
if it was not where it was coming from. The fact that google feels the
need to create a new system programming language is maybe the most
interesting fact of it ?
