True. I wasn't claiming that most of Python itself
came from Haskell; just the things I liked most
about it. But you're still right - there are probably
things that I liked about Python that didn't
really come from Haskell - but Haskell has them,
nonetheless.

I wonder if ABC's layout rules were inspired by
ML and/or Landin's off-side rule, or were developed
independently.
