Thanks for the link. I wonder how they are doing tail call optimization in python

  Here is where TCO is implemented in the Coconut compiler code: https://github.com/evhub/coconut/blob/07e311fb8f69861d30e58f0de7861f2ef7351503/coconut/compiler/compiler.py#L1611 https://github.com/evhub/coconut/blob/07e311fb8f69861d30e58f...

    That's clever and horrifying. Clever because writing a regex-based preprocessor for a complex, dynamic language that adds TCO and actually works in most cases is impressive. Horrifying because . . . it's a regex based preprocessor that rearranges arbitrary function code in a complex, dynamic language.
