Declarative programming has a long way to go, IMHO. It's kinda worthless the way it is right now with tags in ASP.NET, and now XAML. You have code in like 3-4 different places now, it's just a maintenance nightmare.

When it can get to the point there all the UI is completely XML with NO code, and all the actions and biz logic are in pure code with no mixing PERIOD, then declarative programming is good. But this bastardization/hybrid crap like ASP.NET tag-based programming (versus ASP.NET server-control code-only programming) and XAML, is a nightmare.

Curious, I've been writing ASP.NET applications since beta 1 of Framework 1.0. My first for pay ASP.NET project began in February 2001. In all that time, nearly three years, I've never had co-mingling of code and tags. My .aspx/.ascx files have HTML/XML and my .aspx.cs/.ascx.cs have my code. Those code files call into my business/data tiers which are also all .cs. No mixing, no code in like 3-4 places. Simple separation.

What kind of applications do you write?
