One underrated feature of Go and Julia: methods are defined without extra indentation. In e.g. Java they're inside the the class at the next indentation level.
Methods are so common and indentation is a finite resource. "Top level method" syntax is surprising at first though.

Writing assembly, segfaults are a good thing! They're a well-defined error state, whilst there are a whole range of messy failure states that are worse.
