Declarative Programming

ONLamp.com: Advanced OOP: Declarative Programming and Mini-Languages, by David Mertz.

What we are interested in for this installment is ways of writing programs that are declarative rather than imperative. In many cases, simply notating facts is more concise and less error prone than providing instructions.

In this article, as with the others in this series, I will focus on techniques as exemplified in Python.
