Evan, Once again you are getting me excited, " lisp-like constructs for setting variables and executing loops" because self referential "coding" in TiddlyWiki would introduce processing and computation that supports the Quine nature of tiddlywiki which currently delivers its wonderful features to users but demands more sophisticated knowledge to leverage the computational part of a Quine. To provide access to less sophisticated users would multiply the possibilities of tiddlywiki even further.
