I don't think anybody quite knows how the human mind works.
There are theories, but none proven yet.

Our idea of sets and OOP make us think this system could
and perhaps should restrain our wild hare-brained human
approaches to something another wild hare-brained human
might be able to read and manage. In addition there is
the write-once practice which attempts to standardize
as much as possible, rather than re-creating the wheel
every time a new app. is written.

Declarative? I don't know how to write words to declare
what the final app. ought to be. It doesn't seem possible
to me. But, I haven't really gotten into those languages.
Maybe I just don't think that way. :-)
