I'm continually impressed by what Go offers in the way of profiling and performance observability baked into the language. I know tools to do benchmarking and profiling exist for other languages, but the fact that a lot of that data is "in the box" for Go is incredibly convenient, to the point where any API I develop has a flag to enable serving pprof data.

Indeed, D has coverage, profiling, and unittests (unittest {}) built directly into the language and it massively eases using these concepts and encourages their use casually.
