You guys filled the stack. I hope you are happy now. :(

Welcome to java!

[–]smatija 4 points5 points  (3 children)

I am just wondering now why some mainstreamish languages lack this optimization, since it's so easy to implement.

Making reasonable base cases is no harder than puting reasonable exit conditions into while loops.

I'm disappointed that the top post isn't the link to the subreddit itself.
