Guy Steele posted a nice essay on why rewriting it using loop-constructs is not trivial and why TCO is such a big deal (and frankly more than an optimization). It was originally posted on the Project Fortress blog [1], but that's no longer around. You can still find it in the archives [2], and then there's the always valuable discussions over at LTU [3].

Interestingly - I've been playing with Frege ( a Haskell for the JVM ) which compiles its TCO down to while loops - now I just wish I knew Haskell :)
