While exploring clojure I got stuck because I didn't understand what "tail position" meant (as in the case of recur). My question was answered on stack overflow (link below). I think it might help other beginners if the documentation for recur was changed slightly from:
...recur is functional and its use in tail-position is verified by the compiler. to something maybe more like: ...recur is functional and its use in tail-position is verified by the compiler. Multiple s-expressions containing recur may be used in a loop or function block. The value returned by recur may not be used by any containing s-expressions. http://stackoverflow.com/questions/7813497/clojure-what-exactly-is-tail-position-for-recur/7813537#7813537 -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
