Too few sampled comments (2) to say how often HN recommends it.?
Why HN links it
HN readers link this blog for posts on JavaScript tail call optimization and a DVD-logo bouncing demo that discusses avoiding state. Both links appear as supporting references in comments rather than as praise.
Summarised by Claude from a sample of 2 HN comments that link here. Each comment is marked recommending, critical or neutral (citing without judging); how this works.

What Hacker News says?
Huh, that in turn means that - server-side or for scripts - this should run better on Bun than on Node (or Deno), because Bun is based on JavaScriptCore and actually handles taill call optimization well[1] [1] https://www.onsclom.net/posts/javascript-tco

HN discussionNot just the color, if you resize the window all calculations are totally thrown off. Try it with his live demo page: https://www.onsclom.net/dvd-logo To avoid that, I'd use percentage positioning and have all widths and heights from 0-100. This would mean it would move faster horizontally than vertically in a wide window, but that's probably OK.
