If you want the first example, I think it was XUL, the layout engine for Mozilla ("Seamonkey"? about 15 years ago) and since then it's been attempted in various places (Even MS). FWIW, I think Qt's implementation of declarative is hands-down the best implementation, and I don't think it can be beat. And that's me, an old QWidget guy since 2004.

Actually, none of the "industry" is moving to declarative languages. 
Industry being embedded devices without GPU, having 512Meg or less of 
RAM needing to achieve 10 days active battery life (not 10 hours standby)
