How interesting. I'd seen LISP(y) implementations like Scheme guarantee tail-call since recursion is a very common technique in that language family. But I didn't know Zig supported it.
They have an @call built-in that guarantees: always/never tail, as well as always/never inline. That's neat, I can see how that would be useful in various situations.
