V8 JS and Python (JVM too?) don't do tail call optimization, so the advice of not using the stack for high recursive algorithm is actually the right choice in the majority?
Tail call optimization is “supported” by the JVM and is of course language dependent as it is performed at compile time. For instance, Scalia does support it. Would be great if the JVM itself supported it so it wasn’t dependent on compilers and I believe there is a proposal floating around for that.
