I agree. I don't recognize the examples here as declarative programming.

SQL and Prolog are both examples of declarative programming, so is Make to an extent. Using a map function doesn't make JavaScript a declarative programming language - it's a functional programming concept, not a declarative one.

That doesn't keep it from being a declarative thing.
