It is really is. If you throw a generator into the script you can also iterate over promises without running out of sockets so you can do long running scripts and automation in a very natural way. While this does not give you anything you could not do with IOL and a module.js code page the process is self contained and the results are very shareable between users and applications.
As to Haskell I was just kidding - I would not miss this meetup for the world. Funny thing about Haskell and QuickBase is that the Empower logo with the "double chevron" is in fact the same as Haskell's monadic bind operator (ie ">>"). I think this foreshadows great innovations to come.
