You didn't mention parametric polymorphism, which is incredibly useful and important to the language. I'm guessing you intentionally excluded async, but to describe it as "not that useful" would just be wrong, there is a large class of programs that can be expressed very simply using async rust but would be very complicated to express in sync rust (assuming equivalent performance).
