Out of my head --
1. Separation of spec/impl.
2. Easy tasking/data sharing with monitors.
3. If it compiles, bugs are almost always of logic nature and not silly
time-wasters (although there's the rare occurrence when I get too smart ;).
4. Unconstrained types that minimize dynamic allocation needs.
4.1 I guess the use of 'Class is a particular instance of this.
5. Rep. clauses, custom numeric types.
6. Easy interfacing to C.
