You have a pretty narrow definition of a platform. Consider https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computing_platform Yes, you are right, I didn't consider the checkcast instruction. Yes, F# does not have this particular limitation, but has few of its own in different places. Most notably, it lacks HKT (arguably, because of CLR awareness of generics). BTW, alternative approaches to stack-safe recursion do exist in Scala. For example, https://github.com/slamdata/matryoshka |

And guess what? it doesn't have it because F# doesn't run on the JVM! If it run in the JVM, it would have it. So your obsession with "runtime" as a platform not only not useful, it's asking for trouble! ;)
