gollark: Hmm, so what you're saying is that tail calls are incomprehensible dark magic.
gollark: Tail calls are where you call a function at the end of a function or something, and this is magically optimized better because something something stack.
gollark: Couldn't you just PR it to not not do that?
gollark: You can, as far as I know, emulate pcall-type stuff with temporary coroutines (which is very hacky but oh well), and those would probably not be subject to stack stuff.
gollark: Maybe you could abuse coroutines instead of pcall.
