The trouble with that structure is that the hyphen may be misinterpreted
as creating a compound adjective out of "Haiku" and "computing" and
separating the "simplified".  This could be read as, "Haiku computing"
"simplified".

I'd argue for a structure like "Haiku: Computing Simplified"; minimising
the sentence structure as a reflection on the philosophy of the OS.
Plus using the colon (grammatically meaning "note what follows") is
almost like the scope resolution operator in C++, a half Paamayim
Nekudotayim.  :)

Anyway, enough boldly splitting hairs where no man has split hairs
before.

Kind regards,

Tony
