I think it's a bit more than that, Haskell has a much more sophisticated type system than quite a few of the popular statically typed langauges ( C, Java, C# ). Static typing is only the start, to be really useful we need modern type inference methods and a concise way of expressing generics. Both Scala and Haskell do this very well.
