A comment on Directly compiling Scheme to WebAssembly: lambdas, recursion, iteration.

Last I checked WASM did not yet allow tail jumps. Without these compiling Scheme would be very clumsy. Has this been resolved?

It's being supported in an extension that looks on track to be broadly available across WASM runtimes soonish.

The proposal was recently bumped to stage 4 (the penultimate stage) with at least a couple of runtimes working on implementing (besides v8, which has supported it for quite awhile now)
