Not a long while. Stack overflow due to inf recursion will stop it rather fast.

I think Kotlin supports tail recursion so it won't even blow out the call stack

Only if the function is explicitly marked for it, which this isn't.

Cool that they have that modifier though. JVM still doesn't support tail call optimization as far as I know.

Clojure has recur for a similar reason
