It is a faster python with a very primitive type system tacked on. I don't know how they ended up there from their original idea of a systems language, but they did.
And concurrency primitives in the core language. (In a properly designed language, these could have been made part of the standard library, though.)
And worse error-handling facilities than the original Python.
