The first time I've read about tacit programming is in one of the blog posts on oilshell [1]. Really like the idea and apparently one of my favorite features of UNIX is the pipe facility, and it's actually a form of tacit programming. This makes a lot of sense since the OS itself is already full of ready made functions that can be exposed through the API [2]. It's also interesting to note that most of the modern programming languages for examples Python, Ruby, Perl, and JavaScript are missing or have awkward support of this feature.
