Clojure does tail-call elimination for simple cases with loop/recur. This is
by far the most common case. Most other tail-recursive situations can be
represented as lazy sequences, which are another way to handle recursive
functions without consuming stack space. For the final rare cases (e.g.
I thought tail recursion was actually not possible on the JVM but saw
a talk on the Erlang VM yesterday and Robert Virding mentioned that
Erjang managed to do it.
I'm sure the core guys have seen it but just in case others thought
the same as me here are a few links:
