It seems to have a pretty high ratio of "I use X because it's the only one that has Y" type features, all in one place. Very appealing to Python users, since it fills a few well known language gaps.

- fibers
- advanced pattern matching
These are two not so common language features that are often the differentiator in a class of languages: "I like Python - but Ruby has fibers" or "I like Ruby - but Python has pattern matching"
To see such features all in one language has a lot of appeal (to me, anyway)
I've got limited experience with it but it seems on par with what most languages have.
