In what way is Rust declarative? When I think of a declarative language, I think of Prolog or SQL. Rust to me would seem to be explicitly imperative.

Point still stands. I've made plenty of bugs writing both sql and prolog (although i've only written a small amount of prolog)

Certain classes might be more or less likely, but no paradigm is magic and stops all bugs.

I guess I was confusing expression based or functional with declarative.
