Without examples it's hard to say. Python isn't static, and it's type system isn't as capable as MLs.

I'm entirely unconcerned about random formatting systems destroying whitespace. Some eat angle brackets. Maybe I'm not copy+pasting enough. I find "for beginners" to not be useful as a measure of anything - anything can be said to be confusing for beginners. But I can see how people might come to a different opinion.

Haskell doesn't nearly has as much of a problem with copy-and-pasting from websites as Python have. (But in Haskell the significant indentation is much more optional.)
