    ...functionality that relied heavily on low-level APIs were rewritten in C++. The user interface was also rewritten in C++, in order to make use of the Visual Age User Interface Class Library. All of these components were addressable through a CORBA-like distributed object infrastructure. The business logic that drives these components was written in Python, ninety percent of which is common to all of the tools.

    ...functionality into a Service base class that hides networked server interaction from the programmer. As a result, the service developer only needs to think about the business logic in the service methods and can rely on the server to automatically provide database connection pooling, protocol handling, transaction control, and all the complicated interactions that are needed to make a server side implementation robust. Client-Side Bliss Another design goal for the system was to simplify client...

Turing-completeness is the key concept here. The "declarative" category then contains everything else, from command line argument syntax to email headers and HTML.
