Here is a list of features that Yeti has that are either not in Python or not in Algol. That is, none of these features is in both Algol-60 and Python:

* static typing

* discriminated unions

* first-class functions

* immutability by default

* pattern matching

These are all present in both Yeti and SML.

Yes, Yeti is not SML, but I think it's much closer to ML and Friends than it is to any other language family, even Haskell or Scala.
