No, you got it backwards. I was contrasting a BASIC dialect as an
example of a space-*in*sensitive language to just about every modern
language, including Haskell.  In other words, Haskell was specifically
*not* like BASIC in my comparison.

I believe early FORTRAN is another example of a spacing-*in*sensitive
language comparable to that BASIC dialect, and *not* similar to Haskell.
