New description:

 GHC's runtime has a "front panel" which displays graphical representations
 of parts of the runtime as a program runs.  For example, it shows the
 amount of data in each generation, how many threads there are, the memory
 layout, etc.

 This was a quick hack, and there are many ways in which it could be
 extended to become a generally useful tool.
