Tail Call Optimization IS SHIT

Name: Anonymous 2016-07-24 16:49

There's no such thing as tail call "optimization". What you call optimization is simply tail calls done right.

But my main point is that self-reference is not tied to functions, and that it itself does not require space (as illustrated by the latch example). If self-reference is implemented properly, there is no need for “tail call optimization”, because it’s not about calls at all.
