I agree with most of this list, and I'd add some kind of null coalescing or ternary operator, even if it was limited to one operater per expression, and a date time handling library that doesn't make me want to pull.my hair out.

There's several things that keep me on Go, single binary, decent built in tooling, and decent speed.

I've started playing around with tinygo on Pi Pico's, and after the dealing with getting C and C++ onto other MCUs it's a breath of fresh air.

But the rough edges are very rough. At some point another language is going to come along with better syntax with the same single binary and good tooling and I'll probably switch over as fast as possible.
