How to characterize Visi in a sentence or two?

[Byron Gibson]

Hi David, following your work on Visi/.pro, thought I'd post your latest blog post to the Reddit Haskell group since that's what it's built with.  Would it be accurate to say that Visi is a sophisticated Haskell DSL?

And in case you're interested, there was a discussion on another of your Visi articles a few weeks ago:

I think of Visi as:

A new millenium take on the Excel/spreadsheet modeling language.  Visi is built on Haskell and takes advantage of Haskell's rich and powerful runtime features including threading, laziness, Iteratees and more.

Thanks.  I realized that community is mostly already aware of Visi, so I didn't need to describe it.  Just posted the github wiki link instead.
