You may be interested in a recent blog post I wrote that discusses tail calls in Scala. The compiler is able to optimise certain classes of tail calls, but care must still be taken by the programmer. http://blog.richdougherty.com/2009/04/tail-calls-tailrec-and-trampolines.html Cheers Rich --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "JVM Languages" group.
