This is a key point: languages without tail recursion cannot delegate to another procedure. They can do a limited simulation of delegation by chaining the returns, but this adds an O(n) space overhead to the computation and consumes stack space, which is a finite resource (hence the limit). >> >> ____________________ >> Racket Users list: >> <a href="http://lists.racket-lang.org/users">http://lists.racket-lang.org/users</a> > >
