Hello Alyssa, Very informative article. I noticed a statement in the declarative example section.

"Below is an imperative way to take a list of musicians and create a new array of names."

I think you meant declarative way.

P.S Thanks for sharing

Loved this article.

I disagree with you in one point. I am more pessimistic and I think most programmers think in a imperative way because they were taught to be in full control and make premature optimization.

It is a pity but I hope this will change someday in the future. Imperative programmers are at more danger of being replaced with machines than declarative ones.
