Package management. Being able to clone a random open source repository and you can more or less count on `go run .` doing what you expect. And you don't even have to wait that long because how fast it compiles.

I would however disagree on it being simple. I wouldn't use that word. The language is so barren that you end up having insufficient abstraction power to make simple things simple. Instead simple things are verbose.

As for concurrency, well the language is so simple that it's easy to misuse when you are writing concurrent programs. This is required reading for anyone beginning to write concurrent programs in Go: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31698503
