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.

Hey Maxi, that is a fair point you make about programmers thinking in an imperative way.

Thanks for the reading the article and sharing your insight on the topic!
