What limitations does the JVM impose on tail-call optimization
Clojure does not perform tail call optimization on its own: when you have a tail recursive function and you want to have it optimized, you have to use the special form recur. Similarly, if you have two mutually recursive functions, you can optimize them only by using trampoline.
Y combinator and tail call optimizations
The definition of a Y combinator in F# is
Tail-recursive implementation of take-while
I am trying to write a tail-recursive implementation of the function take-while in Scheme (but this exercise can be done in another language as well). My first attempt was
