It's a funy and original trick but on this example at least, it seems slower (and it can use a lot of memory, because it retains a stack in the heap) than trampoline:
(time (get-value (even 15000000))) "Elapsed time: 1899.881769 msecs" And a version with trampoline (defn odd [^long x] (if (zero? x) false #(even (dec x)))) (defn even [^long x] (if (zero? x) true #(odd (dec x)))) (time (trampoline (even 15000000))) "Elapsed time: 366.496137 msecs" -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
