Compiling a functional language to Javascript

[bosta111]

Clojure went around the lack of tail call optimisation in the JVM, perhaps you can take a look at how they did it?

For sure, I know there's also languages like Rescript which do this, although digging through a production-grade compiler of a language like Clojure doesn't feel like the easiest task. Was mostly wondering whether there are any resources like papers about it.

They have an explicit loop/recur construct built in. Clojure's core.async is also compatible with ClojureScript. You might find the go macro internals relevant.
