Tiddler Revisted. Is It a Magic?

WikiText is more powerful than Markdown, and is (almost?) a programming language

I think someone did a brainfuck thing in TW which means it’s Turing complete or something…

TiddlyWiki Brainf**k implementation without special JS (or: possible proof TiddlyWiki widgets and filters are probably turing complete)

For the last couple days I’ve been working on a bf interpreter implementation on TiddlyWiki. I limited myself only to stuff TW provides by default and no extra JavaScript (otherwise it would be way too easy), so it has been done entirely with widgets, filters, fields and other TW features. While it’s “done” enough to run “Hello World” and some other smaller stuff, there are some issues particularly with how loops work (probably fixable), “character output” (.) has some [[space escaping issues]]…

LISP… I have vague AutoCAD memorirs…

The magic starts when one realises that while at the core everything is a tiddler tiddlywiki allows to make them look and act very differently, like

• add a tag to a tiddler and it becomes part of the side-menu (or any part of the UI for that matter)
• change the appearance of a tiddler in the story river depending on tags, fields, etc.
• show templates in tiddlers driven by tags, fields (e.g. show a participants text box when a tiddler is marked “meeting”
