In the docs <https://tiddlywiki.com/prerelease/#WikiText> it says 

WikiText is a concise, expressive way of typing a wide range of text 
> formatting, hypertext and interactive features. It allows you to focus on 
> writing without a complex user interface getting in the way. It is designed 
> to be familiar for users of MarkDown 
> <http://daringfireball.net/projects/markdown/>, but with more of a focus 
> on linking and the interactive features.


but if I were to describe it to coders, I'd say it is a "high level 
language" but is it a pure "markup language"? And could it at all be called 
any of these; declarative, imperative, scripting, procedural, functional 
etc?

BTW, that quote above...  there is an irony here. Because of TW's 
generality, I find a lot of my time is *not* spent on "focus on writing 
without a complex user interface getting in the way". Instead a lot of time 
is spent on customizing the content to have it shown 'my way' and that does 
involve complex UI matters.
