This is definitely not true: Haskell is sensitive to layout, which alone
makes it very different from a syntactic point of view. Though this
lets Haskell-programs look very nice to the human eye, it also makes
other things more difficult, e.g. using preprocessors or automatic code
generation. The parser is also more difficult to implement.
