I kind of agree that loop acts as a point for recursion, however if
the auo-TCO thing is possible, writing naturally recursing code would
become possible.
I think that recur could still exist independent like what other said.

Hello all
I have a question to Rich - are there plans to introduce named
loop/recur? In Scheme it very handy to create named let, and create nested
loops. Currently in Clojure, I need to split nested loop into separate
function, that not so often good

I'm confused. Shouldn't the inner loop have the proper conditionals
to break out of itself properly instead?

But this will not allow to jump to outer loop from inside of inner loop...
If you require mutual recursion, letfn might be your answer

Just started learning Clojure a day ago with Stuart's book I found
that Clojure doesn't do tail recursion optimization, not at least for
the most simplest form. Instead the call must be made to recur instead
of the function itself.
However in the more-or-less-the-same-camp Scala does such
Ugly is in the eye of the beholder :), but anyway, I got curious and
dug up some info on scala's recursion:

Other people prefer having a form to explicitly request recursion.
That way, you are able to say explicitly in your code: I expect this
to be TCO-able, and have the compiler tell you if you are mistaken.
Another advantage of the explicit form is that it can be used
anonymously with `loop`
Even if Java and thus Clojure eventually adds TCO, I hope recur sticks
around, because I have come to prefer loop-recur syntax for the kinds
of things I do with named let in Scheme.
TCO would certainly be useful, though.
