* Clean (doesn't look messy)

## What question is the project currently attempting to answer?
The short term goal for the project is to answer the question:
_Is it possible to create a readable and compact graphical representation of Haskell function and value declarations?_
One of the challenges with graphical programming languages has been their inability to scale. Of course with Haskell it is possible to write code as many small functions, but there are times when it helps to simply see lots of code on the screen.
