For me, there are three things that make it a great language.

1. simple syntax, you can pick up the language quickly and reading code is easy.

2. backward compatibility for 1.0. This has made it easy to just recompile and get any compiler performance improvements.

3. batteries included standard library. Testing, benchmarking, json, xml, http server all build into the standard library
