No, you can also eliminate stack calls using lazy-seq or trampolines. If you provide some example code of what you are currently doing, it would be easier to gauge what is the most suitable approach. You might not even need to bother eliminating stack calls, if you know you're never going to recurse very far. > Having some sort of hint about this in the recur documentation might > be helpful? Well, the docs do say "recur in other than a tail position is an error", though that does assume the reader knows what the tail position of a function is. - James -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
