It uses both a more normal GC and reference count, for different purposes. This
can be a good idea.
It allows to use both mutable and immutable data, the default is immutable.
It uses an idea named "Typestate" that I have just started reading about.
Logging is built-in and done widely. It tries to follows some of the
reliability ideas from Erlang.
It looks quite more complete than the Go language.

Bye,

A language from Mozilla, huh? Prediction: Each version will include arbitrary-but-non-optional breaking changes, but only for the things that worked fine, and better, before. Ok, yea, I know that's a lousy joke...but so is Mozilla! Zing!

This i like the most about it, back when D2 introduced immutable i hoped we could get immutable-by-default too ;(
