The Power of Tactic Programming in APL-like Languages
In APL-like languages, there is more to tacit programming than just the use of adverb and conjunction. As soon as you have an adverb or those call it operator, or conjunction that takes a function or even an array and derives a new function from that, then you're doing tacit programming. In all these languages, common for all these languages is a plus slash does some. That's for K, for J, for APL. And what's happening there is that you are composing pieces together. It's not two separate things, plus and the slash, they combine into a single entity.
