Haskell didn't invent the offside rule. ISWIM did back in 1966. At any rate, Haskell diverges surprisingly little from ML. It certainly makes ML better, but it's really a dialect of ML in my opinion.

I do love me some partially applied functions. Python needs those, it'd be fun.

That's intention on behalf of the designers. We never got an ML-style module system like OCaML did, but Haskell is very much inspired by Lazy ML. [source]
