> Do you have plans to revist the tail call question within RacketScript?

Yes we do. The readme includes that statement just to be upfront with
users about racketscript's philosophy and what to expect when trying
racketscript.

That being said, RacketScript currently converts self-tail-calls to
loops, which is already on par with some industrially-used functional
language js compilers, so we conjecture that racketscript's tail call
handling is already sufficient for a wide variety of applications.

Of course, we would also be happy to learn of any deficiencies. Even
though Racketscript is still immature and unstable, we welcome
feedback and contributions from the community to help shape
Racketscript's development.
