Not all tail calls are self-recursion. If you call a different function in tail position, there would be no TCO which if I remember correctly is why Rich added recur instead of optimizing self-recursion. He doesn't want to fool you into believing that Clojure supports TCO when it doesn't. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
