> Declarative works better than imperative only when someone has already defined the imperative process that takes you from any given state to your goal and does that for you based on your declaration. [emphasis added] No, someone (as in a person) doesn't have to define the imperative process, that would be stupid. We have computers to compute things, including computing new processes. Oracle didn't hire a bunch of human query planners to manually construct every query plan, they made a query planner. Google didn't sit down a nation of navigators to plan out every route, they wrote a program (or likely a set of programs) that computes it on the fly. |

Which is precisely the sort of imperative process I am referrencing...
