Why tail recursion is not normally used in C#

Rough notes, on why tail recursion is not normally used in C#.

In Scala, tail recursion allows for recursive calls with a constant stack size. This is usually possible if the recursive call is the last part of that expression.

However, the C# language has no direct support for tail recursion.

Note: with 64bit release build, the JIT may detect tail recursion, and avoid stack growth. 

But not when debugging (so could have stack overflow, if debugging). 

[to reserach] even with 64 but build, the tail recursion may not succeed,  in some cases?? 

Other reasons why tail recursion is not typically used:

- not idiomatic C#

· Performance might be better without recursion (I think sometimes Resharper recommends to remove it)

· Tail recursion can sometimes be replaced by something else like Enumerable.Aggregate
