New issue 457 by joakim.ahnfelt: Tail call elimination (feature request)
http://code.google.com/p/v8/issues/detail?id=457
If I open the JavaScript console in Chrome and write this:
function fac(n, a) { if(n == 0) { return a; } else { return fac(n - 1, a *
n) } }; fac(100000, 1);
I get this: RangeError: Maximum call stack size exceeded
I think V8 might be a nice target virtual machine for other programming
languages if it supported tail calls. It's the only big obstacle I can see
for languages with functional features.
