Let's not forget the principles though. Programming isn't magic; you still have to at least specify the intended behavior, even if without specifying the how. You could even specify approximately (or incompletely) the intended behavior of your system (and let another hypothetical system fill in the gaps), but that's not viable for every application in the future due to reliability. In the end this can't lead to something much different than saying "Sort this list" -- isn't that simply calling a sorting procedure?
