Doesn't mean he knows a thing at all about tail recursion.

Doesn't mean he knows a thing about tail recursion.

Has nothing whatsoever at all to do with tail recursion.

That's the best you can come up with? Too bad he doesn't know about
things like tail recursion. His code might be even better if he knew
about "beyond absolute beginner" programming techniques (tail recursion
isn't exactly "expert level" kind of stuff).

There's nothing unknown about it. After eight years of development
you've got, what, 90 users on your board (and I constitute four of
those users!).

Laugh all you want. It's succeeding whereas RosAsm is failing. And
your silly propaganda in unrelated threads like this one isn't likely
to change that situation any time soon.
