Really? How do you put multiple "import" statements on a single line in Haskell? Or a function signature followed by its definition?

Ocaml uses whitespace (including newlines) for exactly one reason: token separation. Indentation and line breaks are arbitrary, and can be replaced with spaces in any sequence of Ocaml statements. The same cannot be said for Haskell.

With semicolons and curly braces; Haskell's newline/indent syntax is merely an aesthetic substitute for those.
