Tailrec Through The Ages Until Kotlin 1/2

This video is a presentation about the evolution of tailrec through the years accross some of the most well known, and some not so known languages. The goal isn't to go through all languages ever invented, but to gain a prespective about tailrec that exists already in programming languages since the 1950's. The idea is to situate us in time and understand where we come from when we talk about tailrec and tail call optimization (TCO).
