> What feature does it offer that other scripting languages don't?

It has pretty much the best type support of all other similar languages (typescript is a different category). It also has the best implementation of class-based object oriented features (interfaces, classes, abstract classes, etc). These features are incredible for designing OO systems from scratch. The only big feature missing is generics.
