Those mostly for c/c++ guys:
- builtin arrays (with bound-checks inserted by compiler)
- array slicing
- delegates
- lambdas
- RAII
- DBC
- stdlib and compiler-generted code uses exceptions
- string switches
- modules
- foreach
- can use c-libs
- can provide c-interface

And for java/.net folks:
- native code (as opposite to VM)
