Oh Christian, did you have a bad day again? I didn't say "all recursion is evil". For a language interpreter recursion is perfect. My dig was at the Schemers who would rather implement an array as a linked list and then optimize tail-recursion in the hope of getting some performance back -- in vain because they still can't get O(1) indexing. --Guido van Rossum (home page: http://www.python.org/~guido/)
