Ask HN: Great programming language features, other languages should steal?

You cannot be fluent in all programming languages. But this also makes you blind for language features a particular language really got right, or killer libraries that are just amazing. Which are these widely unknown features, that you only get to know, when working with a language and its ecosystem? Example: I'm coming from Scala. Starting to develop a Flutter app with Dart, made me realize how great and safe the serialization ecosystem in Scala is. You can serialize types (and type hierarchies) with a convenient syntax that is completely decoupled from the type itself, while high-performance serialization code is generated at compile-time via macros.
