[plt-scheme] guido on tail recursion

http://neopythonic.blogspot.com/2009/04/tail-recursion-elimination.html

"I don't believe in recursion as the basis of all programming. This is a 
fundamental belief of certain computer scientists, especially those who 
love Scheme and like to teach programming by starting with a "cons" cell 
and recursion. But to me, seeing recursion as the basis of everything else 
is just a nice theoretical approach to fundamental mathematics (turtles 
all the way down), not a day-to-day tool.
"

Ahem.
