Tail call optimization is “supported” by the JVM and is of course language dependent as it is performed at compile time. For instance, Scalia does support it.

Tail call optimization is “supported” by the JVM and is of course language dependent as it is performed at compile time. For instance, Scalia does support it. Would be great if the JVM itself supported it so it wasn’t dependent on compilers and I believe there is a proposal floating around for that.
