Programming paradigm/Tacit is a programming language feature.

Tacit programming, also called point-free style, is a programming style in which function definitions refer implicitly (i.e. not by name) to arguments (or "points") on which they operate. They compose other functions, among which are combinators that manipulate the arguments.
