A comment on Tail Recursion. Parent comment

Of course, some languages only support elimination of tail calls when they're recursive. I believe that Scala suffers from this (since the JVM doesn't support tail call elimination).

Good point, I'm not very familiar with Scala. I think Clojure may also have this limitation.
