Well spotted, I didn't notice it. Serendipitous indeed!
Haskell subsumes a great deal of semantics from many programming models. This is not to say that it is necessarily a productive end-tool replacement, but many have discovered that it is a great language to build such tools with.
I'm convinced it IS a productive replacement in a surprising number of cases.
