Hoping this release will bring the below advantages.

1. A statically compiled language with GC-d runtime, which compiles quicker than golang

2. Something that brings algebraic effects to the mainstream and with it an arguably better model for concurrency / parallelism

3. Support value types to take advantage of modern CPU caches

Finally golang finds some real competition (from a very unlikely source though). Hoping ReasonML will become more popular with this release with true parallelism and nice concurrency.
