It is a fact that the most effective (or good enough) implementation
of an algorithm is most of time the most effective (or good enough)
implementation which fulfill a requirement. Efficient implementations
looks very different to the expression of the algorithm. Thus, what we
finally want, is not the implementation of an algorithm, but rather,
the implementation of something which fulfill a request/requirement...
requirements/request which are better expressed in declarative ways.

Beside of that, this is the basic of the client/solution-provider
relationship.
