09:57 <polarian> So if racket does heap allocations for its recursion, what does it use stack for...?

09:57 <polarian> does it even utilise a stack?

09:58 <polarian> I know with Java, its call stack is still on the stack, and identifiers/variables, while data is allocated to the heap

10:18 <dzoe> polarian: I suggest reading https://docs.racket-lang.org/reference/eval-model.html - the very beginning of this chapter explains how the Racket (applies to plain Scheme as well) evaluation works and why it is not a good idea to try to draw direct comparisons with other languages stack/heap/whatever-other-memory-region use.

10:20 <polarian> ah thanks
