Hello Pal-Kristian,

I agree with you that functional code written in a
tail recursive style is hard to read. Sometimes you
have to do it that way if you want to avoid a stack
overflow.

I hope that one day functional language compilers will
do that optimization for you - convert a
non-tail-recursive code into a tail-recursive one. Do
you know of some progress in that direction?

Regards,

Martin
