That sounds like Caia (https://solenica.com/).

I have been working on a visual programming language for Haskell: https://github.com/rgleichman/glance Currently, it uses Diagrams and Graphviz to visualize Haskell programs. Please email me since I think there is a lot we could discuss.

The link is a blank page for me.

Rotating nodes is an easy way to reduce line crossings. Here's a comparison [0].
However, it does seem that vertical and angled text is harder to read than horizontal text, so there is room to improve here.

Graphviz is only used to find the positions for the nodes using Graphviz's Neato algorithm. The nodes and the lines themselves are all rendered using the Haskell library Diagrams [0].
The next step for the project is to improve graph layout (see Glance issue here [1]), which likely means moving away from Graphviz.
What tools to use for interactivity or an editor is still up in the air.

Creator of Glance here, happy to answer any questions.

Here's my reply to another comment about the keyboard: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=13051133

I got the Developer Edition XPS 13 9360 two weeks ago. I have never encountered the repeated key press problem some people with the XPS 15 seem to have had. Compared with my old X1 Carbon, the keyboard on the XPS 13 is not very good. On the XPS 13 the keys are flat, there is very little key travel, and very little resistive force. The lack of resistive force means that your fingers experience much more force when the keys are pressed (similar to tying on a touchscreen's hard surface). From looking at the reviews of the XPS 13, it sounds like these lackluster keyboards are the norm for Ultrabooks. The `, and \ keys are very small, and the Page Up, Page Down, Home, and End keys are overloaded with the arrow keys. There is only one super key, which is on the left.
Most of the time I use an external keyboard. If you only cared about the keyboard I would definitely recommend getting the X1 Carbon over the XPS 13.

I got a Developer Edition XPS 13 9360 two weeks ago. My compatibility experience:
- DisplayPort over USB-C alternate mode did not work at all in Ubuntu 16.04 (unplugging the USB-C cable froze the computer). So I upgraded to 16.10, and DisplayPort over USB-C now works, probably because 16.10 has a newer Linux kernel with better support for USB-C. I do encounter this bug (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1634449) where the external monitor will sometimes flash black when the mouse moves between monitors.
- The headphones are very noisy. When playing audio the hiss can be eliminated by running "alsamixer" and increasing the "Headphone Mic Boost" to 10 db gain. Depending on the monitor, there is 0 to very very little hiss when routing the audio through DisplayPort or HDMI and using my monitor's headphone jack. Annoyingly, when first playing audio, it takes about 2 seconds for the audio to start playing though the headphone jack on my DisplayPort monitor.
- Sometimes the touchscreen does not register touches after waking from suspend. A workaround is to close and open the lid.
- Occasionally (this has not happened in a few days), the wifi will disappear. Running "sudo systemctl restart network-manager.service" gets it working again. Also, iwconfig always reports "Bit Rate=1 Mb/s" even though the actual speed is much faster than that.
- Dell disables the super key out of the box. You have to uninstall the "dell-super-key" package, and add the super key keyboard shortcut with ccsm. (see http://askubuntu.com/questions/751661/dell-developer-edition...). Dell says that disabling the super key is not their choice (http://en.community.dell.com/techcenter/os-applications/f/46...)
Otherwise, everything seems to be working well. I have not tested it, but as far as I know Thunderbolt 3 does not work with Linux yet, so Thunderbolt 3 docks probably won't work.

The link you cited seems to be answering the question "Does more education for an individual decrease poverty for that individual?", while the original post is answering the question "Does more education for a society decrease poverty for society as a whole?". These are two very different questions, and it is quite possible that they have opposite answers.
