it's a decent modular, concurrent programming language (ie, Limbo) and the same environment everywhere providing a name space interface with the file service protocol (the Plan 9 concepts) to things other systems make `special'. the virtual machine is possibly less important: it's mainly a mechanism for easy portability and easy run-time code generation but could be replaced by another scheme.
