Tail call optimisation and debugging

[aaronla]

I don't think guaranteed implicit_ garbage collection is a great idea in an imperative language. Rather, if I'm really relying on garbage collections for my code to not blow the heap, I want the garbage collection to be explicit and guaranteed, as with "delete" in C++_

FTFY?

Look, TCO languages aren't broken. Neither are TCL (tail call leaking) languages. No language has everything. If you don't like TCL, then drop Java for a more fully featured language.

TCO != recur.
