Problems

1. The HTML is constrained by the jQuery conventions.
2. Adding features is cumbersome and difficult, both to implement and read.
3. The validation naturally uses thed DOM directly as its source of truth.

Declarative Rendering

Make me a sandwich

Imperative Process

1. Pull out two pieces of bread.
2. Grab the peanut butter and jam.
3. Get out a butter knife.
4. Lay the pieces of bread on a flat surface.
5. Open the peanut butter
6. Dip the knife in the peanut butter and scoop about 2 tablespoons worth out of the jar....

Declarative Process

1. Make a sandwich.
2. Give sandwich to child.
3. Enjoy some of the hidden snacks while your child is occupied.
