Vis would be the framework consistent of the high-level API, standard
"accessible" names, and a set of UI backends. One of these backends
could use something like Edje as the final phase of generating the UI.

I don't really have a language, just a simple API (in Lua in the paper).
Different UI backends could use whatever language they deem most fit for
fine-tuning "stylesheets" specific to that type of UI.
