[Haskell-cafe] Re: Haskell/JDK/tail-calls etc. (please vote on bug No. 6804517)

from time to time request for Haskell running on top of Java's VM pops on the haskell related mailing list and then usually dies off when someone mentions that JDK does not have proper support for tail-calls.

would it help? For eager evaluation, certainly (I understand that Clojure and Scala are suffering from this), but for Haskell? J.W.
