Notes
    gollark: Continuation passing style grants unlimited powers.
    gollark: Of course you can make it tail recursive.
    gollark: So you can just do that.
    gollark: Anyway, when *I* needed to implement a highly recursive algorithm in a way which wouldn't hit stack issues in an esoteric language I designed with tail call elimination, I just stole a CPS version of it from a Haskell reddit post.
    gollark: This sounds like Dijkstra's algorithm but slightly worse.
