I would consider the Perl CGI services I used to work on to be quite a bit more imperative than the Rails applications I've worked on. Similar with PHP, though I can see where peppering the imperative code into the declarative HTML could be considered more declarative.

Yeah, sorry, Perl is probably a bad example (I was really thinking of Mason, and even then it's a bad example). Pulled that from the list!
