More like a "different Python" than a better one. Way more performant, way more verbose, and (IMO) way better concurrency.
Not to go off on too much of a tangent, but I think asyncio is a huge mess and was a mistake. I still use gevent for everything in Python. https://glyph.twistedmatrix.com/2014/02/unyielding.html is frequently cited as an argument for why goroutines and gevent and green threads suck and why explicit asyncio-style concurrency is better, but I have a lot of issues with this article and find the former two way easier, simpler, and faster to work with.
