Go up one level in this thread


 AFAIK, Gopher had a toy implementation. Modern FPs have proper tail recursion.
And there is a direct mapping between the SSA IL and lambda. SSA being a well
respected intemediate representation used in many compilers. So the native code
should not have any performance hits.
 As for it being spagetti code we simply have to disagree. A function is simple
and direct. And the lack of side effects makes it neccessary to do explicit
declarations to achieve them.
