John Rose of Oracle has posted a very articulate message on the chances of having tail calls in the JVM. http://mail.openjdk.java.net/pipermail/mlvm-dev/2010-October/002016.html
I feel pessimistic about the chances. I doubt tail calls will be a priority for Oracle and IBM. I don't even see it mentioned on the list of things for JDK 7 and 8. Maybe it'll get tacked on to the Project Lambda JSR. BTW, if you follow the link on the post to the discussion in the Fortress blog, why is Guy Steele unable to easily justify "tail calls in the real world" in a blog post in response to jyasskin? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
