There is normally no deep recursion in compiling a program. The compiler would recurse over recursive program constructs, like nested if statements. Programmers normally do not nest constructs very deep.

Well, did they in fact improve human condition? They probably had lots of engineering talent, with a drive to improve too, but they lacked the nescessary science to provide proper methods. Calculus means a lot i industrial engineering. And

And this is the right way. If you consider that left and right are mechanic robot movements taking considerable time then start: left skipNext goto start continue: left goto continue might not gain any appreciable speedup.
