Haha. As if the JVM needed proper tail calls to get owned every other week. :-)
Anyway, the discussion is pretty much moot, because "JVM" doesn't really refer to specific implementation. If one cares about proper tail calls, use an implementation which supports it.
- douglasisshiny 14y agoDoes the JVM get 'owned every other week'? Or are you thinking of the JRE?

- happy_dino 14y agoWhich I more or less already said with > If one cares about proper tail calls, use an implementation which supports it. Right?
- pjmlp 14y agoI would say yes, but your remark about getting owned is Oracle specific hence my comment.
