When I learned about Prolog in university I had a "eureka" moment where I wondered why I was spending all this time learning to implement algorithms in imperative code, when I could just express the output I want and then let some über constraint solver figure out how to produce it. How liberating declarative programming would be if only we started coding with it more. When I try to use Webpack, as I click through obsolete StackOverflow posts, trying to figure out the right key-value pairs to get the output I want, I realize how mistaken I was. I hope build tools for the web become less "magical" and more predictable and debuggable, even if it means discarding their declarative form.
