> think of your problem purely in terms of the world you want to end up in as a result

Great framing!

Isn't this the difference between imperative and declarative statements/code/systems?

A declarative programming language should indeed allow you to think mostly about the result you want and not much about the how, but I'd say GP's comment is more about the design phase. The actual implementation could still be highly imperative.
