Sup /prog/

/b/tard here thinking about becoming a /prog/tard to learn some programming skills. !MILKRIBS4K told me to drop his name.

Declarative programming is dumb.
Declarative programming does include logic, functional, meta-programming and DSL's, so it doesn't make sense to call it dumb.
IMO the best paradigm is mostly functional with a bit of procedural to glue it together.
There is no "best" paradigm, some problems benefit more from a functional aproach, others are better if you use a DSL/meta-linguistic abstraction, others are a pain if you refuse to use state - so imperative programming is the most obvious solution for those cases.
