Hi Yasuyuki,<br><br>Here is some resource Brent produced, why tail-recursion isn't that important in haskell: <br><br><a href="http://www.haskell.org/pipermail/haskell-cafe/2009-March/058607.html">http://www.haskell.org/pipermail/haskell-cafe/2009-March/058607.html</a><br>
(<a href="http://www.haskell.org/haskellwiki/Tail_recursion">http://www.haskell.org/haskellwiki/Tail_recursion</a>)<br><br>I think it is nice to have some background (and it is pretty interesting).<br><br>Greets,<br><br>

However, the real answer is: don't worry about it! Because of<br>
Haskell's lazy evaluation, the notion of "tail call" is not very<br>
important. And even if it were, you still shouldn't worry about it:<br>
just write your Haskell programs in the most natural, beautiful style<br>
you can think of. Maybe at some point down the road you will have<br>
to start worrying about optimization. But you should put it off as<br>
long as possible.<br>

Thank you for your helpful advice. In fact, I was wondering<br>
how coding styles affect optimization! I'll forget it a while.<div class="im"><br>
