Is Haskell context-free if you don't use the indentation layout mode? Haskell does support using braces and semicolons too. However, this is not true of Python (as far as I know).

In theory Haskell supports braces and semicolons but in practice nobody uses them, leading to bugs like this one:

https://github.com/haskell/haddock/issues/12

I do use braces and semicolons when programming in Haskell, and I have encountered that bug before, and I hope that they will fix it (although it still seems to be unfixed after six years, but a few people clearly do care, even if others don't care).
