+* First-class functions
+  * Go supports first-class functions (functions as arguments and return values of other functions)
+  * Go has closures (so variables defined inside a function that returns a function get closed over)
+  * Go has anonymous functions (`func` w/o name)
+* Slices
+  * Use `append` to add to a slice; this creates a new slice, so you have to capture the return value (`s = append(s, 100)`)
