声明式编程VS命令式编程

In computer science, declarative programming is a programming paradigm — a style of building the structure and elements of computer programs—that expresses the logic of a computation without describing its control flow. This is in contrast with imperative programming, which implements algorithms in explicit steps.

声明式编程：告诉“机器”你想要的是什么(what)，让机器想出如何去做(how)。

In computer science, imperative programming is a programming paradigm that uses statements that change a program's state. In much the same way that the imperative mood in natural languages expresses commands, an imperative program consists of commands for the computer to perform. Imperative programming focuses on describing how a program operates. The term is often used in contrast to declarative programming, which focuses on what the program should accomplish without specifying how the program should achieve the result.

命令式编程：命令“机器”如何去做事情(how)，这样不管你想要的是什么(what)，它都会按照你的命令实现。

• 声明式编程让我们去描述我们想要的是什么，让底层的软件、计算机去解决如何实现。

• 在很多情况中，就像我们看到的一样，声明式编程能给我们的编程带来真正的提升，通过站在更高层面写代码，我们可以更多的专注于 what，而这正是我们开发软件真正的目标。

问题是，程序员习惯了去描述 how，这让我们感觉很好很安心能够控制程序的运行状态，不放走任何我们不能看见不能理解的处理过程。
