I should say something more like: very little non-academic non-trivial
programming doesnt have lots of procedural content.

  I have played with logical programmimg with prolog, but dont see much
use of that in the real world. I guess that expert systems would
count. Anybody familiar with those?
   And it depends on your definition of "programming". Setting up a simple
spreadsheet or database may be non-procedural, but is it "real
programming"? :)
