Changing a formula triggers change in the results. (The workbooks I’ve seen don’t do that.) Input data and intermediate results can be hidden or expanded via mouse click. Results can be traced back through the workbook’s formulae up to the input data. (The latter is not always easy in spreadsheets.) Olaf, have you looked at Jupyter http://jupyter.org/ at all? This now has a backend for Haskell and supports many of the things you mention.
