The myth of recursion

I asked my 4 year old niece what are the ingredients in gravy and she answered with, "gravy". It kind of reminded me of programmers who use recursion to solve problems. When you use recursion you are essentially defining a procedure in terms of itself which makes no sense in the real world. Make believe stuff like this is why real scientist and engineers don't take computer scientist seriously.

call/cc is the future of computation. I don't see how anyone could dispute this. While faggots are pumping the stack full of garbage with non-tail recursed fibs calls, continuations can cleanly jump in right to where the action is and start closing worlds and opening the next.
