FYI, I wrote a blob on how I encode tail recursion in Erjang: http://bit.ly/6XIma1 .
This technique is applicable (and surprisingly quite fast) if a language encoding (a) passes a "thread state" to all operations, and (b) are encoded so that functions do not return primitive types. Granted - those are severe restrictions, but they apply to Erjang. Could apply to other languages encoded for the JVM as well.
