You not liking it is a "you problem". The reason people keep insisting that declarative is better, is because it just is. Assume a program that is much better than you can ever hope to be at optimization at compile time. A real AI, much more intelligent than you and any other human being could ever be. Would you still describe the minutia of how you want to do things? Knowing full well it won't do that. And will chose a better option. Or would you just tell it what you want to be done, and not care about how it achieves this? If it can achieve whatever you want to be done, is it not more logical, natural, and human to just describe what you want the end result to be? The answer is an unequivocal "yes". You've already received the answer. Here in this thread, but also, I'm guessing a great many times. You just refuse to accept it. As I've said, "a 'you' problem".
