Please forgive me if you know this already, but just in case: the terms Declarative and Imperative may be useful here.

Declarative: the code describes the desired result.

Imperative: the code describes the operations to take.

Most programming languages are Imperative, but some are Declarative, and some allow a mix of the two. More here: https://www.educative.io/blog/declarative-vs-imperative-prog...

Thanks for sharing the docs! Our language is mostly declarative at the moment. There are some features we discussed that would be imperative and we might introduce them in future versions of the compiler.
