[Haskell-cafe] Is Excel a FP language?

[Tim Docker]

The pivotal project:

    http://www.cs.kent.ac.uk/projects/pivotal/

is more or less what you are referring to (ie an interactive environment
where haskell is the evaluation language), though it doesn't have the
exact GUI of a spreadsheet.

I just had a thought... Why doesn't somebody implement a spreadsheet
where Haskell is the formula language? 8-) 

I have already been struggling (unsuccessfully) to write a program to
graph functions, but why not go the whole hog and make an entire
spreadsheet program?

Possibly one of the most depressing things about Haskell is that there
isn't one single large application anywhere that you can point to and
say "this was made with Haskell". Maybe this could be that app?
