The Slow Steady Industry Move Toward Tacit Programming
Summary
We're all aware that the industry is moving from Object-Orientation toward Functional Programming, but the move may be even deeper than that. As we adopt a strong compositional style using tools like LINQ, Rx, Java Streams, and Ruby's Enumerable, we find that we approach a type of programming that is closer to what is common in the APL family of languages.
