> 2) Recursion & Tail Call Elimination: How would one solve this problem in any other language with a stack? Memory concerns don't just exist in the browser. Be honest now, did you actually read the article ;-) because it answers that exact question. --- > Languages with Tail Call Elimination will recognize this situation and basically rewrite the function into a while loop. Since this is a low-level function, we should do the same, but sometimes it's hard to know when you're recurring dangerously. --- > but it won't go away just because you don't like it. I didn't like it and it go away. Out came Dart. I like Dart. All worked out well so far. |

Except that javascript hasn't gone away, but has in fact exploded exponentially in adoption to become a compile point for various languages, and almost no one and nothing actually uses Dart yet, at least not in the browser.
Unless it's compiled to javascript, of course.
