No, it's a completely different design with completely different priorities and objectives. Copying good approaches to tools (e.g. the dependency management found in Cargo instead of the current need for manually managed Python virtual environments and related inconveniences) is a good idea in principle, but compromising what you correctly call "core features" would alienate users who like Python for what it is without attracting new ones.
