Admittedly, Haskell has no multi-line String support which would make defining something like the "Description" field harder...

Quick correction: Haskell *does* have multi-line strings. For example:

"This is a\ \ nice string"

I meant in the sense of Python, etc. where you didn't have to insert newline characters, etc. in.

A similar problem is solved by http://github.com/jgm/hsb2hs which might be useful if you need to embed larger pieces of text.
