- theonemind 5y agoI'd never call anything imperative (as opposed to declarative) a power-tool for implementing idempotent anything.
- rout39574 5y agoAmen. Useful tool _in which one might_ implement idempotent patterns, yeah.
- selfhoster11 5y agoIt pretty much is declarative enough to count, if you describe your operations in enough detail and rely on modules where you can. Not many people bother to go 100%, but you can easily get to 99%.
