By the same argument, there aren’t any procedural languages — only languages that encourage procedural logic. This is true of all descriptors: declarative, logic, stack, etc.
This is of course true... but a fairly pointless distinction to make — in much the same way claiming C++ and python are equivalent because they’re both Turing complete (therefore, no language can be superior to any other).
It’s a claim that sounds insightful but is ultimately devoid of content.
