title: Does Java 8 have tail call optimization?
body: <p>I tried digging on the web to get my question answered. I found some documents related to <a href="http://openjdk.java.net/projects/mlvm/" rel="noreferrer">Project DaVinci</a>. This is tagged to the JSR 292 which is related to including closures in the JVM. Did this project get realized and is it a part of Java 8?</p>
