It does look superficially close, but (without any real experience of
either), I'd say it's most like Monotone.

Most notably, it appears to be missing Darcs' patch algebra, which
means it won't be able to do cherrypicking effectively. AIUI, that
algebra is also one of the strongest arguments for Haskell as the
implementation language...
