For me the biggest unsung hero is the _stability_

There's something so liberating about finding code samples or documentation from 5-10 years ago and it is still the correct way to solve a problem. The lack of churn in the ecosystem means you can learn the language and then focus on actually building stuff rather than focusing on the rat race of learning the latest hotness and restructuring your app constantly to account for dependencies that break things.
