Great idea, but "tailrecursion.com" is biased towards functional programming. Not all hackers are lisp/fp-hackers.

Of course, I understand that that's the domain you have, and your starting point is "what to do with it' - so you have to use it! And it's quite alright with me if your site is targeting lisp-hackers only. And it may be that the interests of lisp and non-lisp hackers substantially (or maybe totally) overlap. And, for example, the name "Y-combinator" doesn't seem to have done any harm.

PS: I do about 3-6 hours vi per day when typing, but most of my "coding" is done on paper or in the shower. Do I count as a hacker? Can I join?



What? I thought nearly all languages supported tail recursion.


Yes, but in language implementations without TCO, it's just recursion.
