Declarative Language
This is a language that specifies the desired end state. So it is the picture on the front of the Ikea manual rather than the instruction manual!
Examples
Thoughts
A good User Interface (UI) should be declarative with the system behind the scenes doing the leg work to get to that state. This paradigm is being applied more and more within DevOps for example Kubernetes and Terraform both you specify the end state and the program sorts altering the current state to match this.
