The change is proposed for ECMAScript 6: http://wiki.ecmascript.org/doku.php?id=harmony:proper_tail_calls http://wiki.ecmascript.org/doku.php?id=harmony:proper_tail_c... GHCJS currently uses a trampoline, but all calls are in tail position, so when this gets implemented we can easily generate code that uses native JS tail calls. Like GHC, GHCJS uses its own stack for non-tail calls.

I think native code GHC has its stack in the standard location, though it manages it explicitly (as most native code languages do). (I'll double check the ghc source later to make sure i'm quibbling correctly)
