if you want tail calls in Julia, there is a 3 line macro that gives it to you.

Here is one:

It works by inspecting the code and rewriting a function to turn tail calls into loops.

The interesting bit is that it was very easy to write because of the strong macros in Julia.

This is eye opening. I might take a look at this in depth and try Julia again.
