One of the things is that generally the source for the Development Environments
is included, so the developer can extend their own developer tools.

The other thing is that the write,compile,test process is right at the
method level
so you don't have the change one line,save file, compile program. test program
that still exists in C++ environs. It's simple change line, compile method
(test).
Which increase programmer connectivity.

Just my tow cents.
