Comment #6 on issue 457 by mihai.bazon: Tail call elimination (feature request)
http://code.google.com/p/v8/issues/detail?id=457
While valid, the explanation given in comment #1 is a bit lame. That might be correct JavaScript by specification, but calling it "real world" usage is too much. I never used that construct in almost 10 years of JS; I didn't even know it exists, and it seems like a very bad practice anyway.
My vote is to break the spec and get TCO (at least optional somehow). :-) -- v8-dev mailing list [email protected] http://groups.google.com/group/v8-dev
